While peeling vegetables and fruit, an elegant lady, in rhythm peels away layers of her globetrotting family history. With a smile on her face, she goes through seven episodes of her and her parents' worldwide wanderings, with an ever-increasing number of brothers and sisters in tow. Her personal history runs parallel with a succession of significant changes in society: one moment we hear about her grandparents' escape from St. Petersburg after the Russian Revolution, the next, she takes us to Morocco. That was where she, her mother, and her siblings stayed while her father fought in France during the Second World War. The woman seems alone but not lonely, and appears to be enjoying her memories.
