Alex lives with her mother Maia and grandmother Teta in Canada, where the family fled during the civil war in Lebanon in the 1980s. One day a box full of Maia’s tapes, diaries, letters and memories arrives and, no matter how much Maia wants to keep the box closed and not look back, Alex takes the opportunity to learn more about her mother and her youth in Lebanon. Soon all three generations of women find themselves reflecting on the past in an effort to make deeper connections and heal old wounds. Memory Box is a warm family drama about memory and importance of accepting your life.
