After an explosion, an elderly woman finds herself in a shoemaker's workshop. She embarks on a journey through a labyrinth of floors, living simultaneously in the here and now and in the dusty past. On her journey to her childhood, she meets her past self and passes through rooms of her memory lane. As a young girl, she swallowed a key that opened a door to an endless maze of passageways. Once trapped in a room of the past, she must perform an equivalent eating ritual to trigger a time shift and continue her journey through long corridors and more rooms. Back in childhood, the woman tries to eat her way through time again, but the inexorable rhythm of the machinery of life keeps on ticking.
