Description

For over 60 years, Annette Ontell lived an average life in an average house on 306 Hollywood Street in New Jersey. When she died in 2011, her two grandchildren started sorting through her things, stumbling upon a gold mine of memories. They realize these items are more than just stuff; they're portals into the very soul of a woman they loved. Reassembling her belongings in colour-coded tableaux and cataloguing every old toothbrush and Band-Aid, they call on archaeologists, physicists and even a fashion conservator to piece together how their grandmother lived and uncover who she really was in this whimsical, Wes Anderson-like foray into memory and the magic of human life.
