This stop-motion film presents and annotates an entire shelf’s worth of knickknacks, gifts, and mementos. As the objects scroll by, a wealth of facts—their scientific names, places and years of origin, or notes on what they feel like or whom they recall or what purposes they served—construct a sort of biographical narrative, so that the objects communicate their own histories while also serving as guides to a life of travel and transitions.
