Context
Victor Franz and his wife, Esther, have come to the attic of his old family home. The building is about to be torn down and Victor must get rid of the furniture and goods that are stored there. Being back in the attic and surrounded by family memorabilia forces Victor to remember the family’s tough past after the financial crash, as well as the good times. Meanwhile, Esther is hoping that Victor can make a good sale from the property and finally provide them with the pot of money they deserve.
