From a journey by two sisters to a Vietnam marked by war, where they encounter the oral and material memory of a time they know from TV, to the story of a cousin hired to sort the bones of American soldiers that ends in Brazil, translating Winnie-the-Pooh into Latin, this is a journey through our collective history and through the ways our lives are shaped by it in unforeseen ways.
