The General's Room

Renan was once a great general in the army, but time has taken his toll and he is now an old man struggling and lonely in a too-large house. His son and grandson spend the afternoon helping to pack up some of his belongings and put the house up for sale, but the general can't seem to let the past go, going so far as to fall into his memories completely.
