Dreams, Memories, Longings

Le résumé fourni par la source

In short, total immersion into a place of longing.

A selection of three examples is offered, chosen from an overwhelming wealth of literally described childhood places, respectively spaces. The most important point in the current context is, however, the strikingly significant role that projected places play within the three respective plots.
