Yet another mask

When we go through Woody Allen’s Another Woman, one sentence strikes us right at the exit:

“I wondered if a memory is something you have or something you've lost.”

The verb you decide to apply to your past defines the way you perceive yourself in the present. In the mix of the things we’ve achieved and the expectations we keep, there’s still a lot of space for interpretation. Our own view of things and its confrontation with other’s. But in the end, we’re all alone with our most intimate ones and the question rises:

Behind which mask do we choose to hide and seek for ourselves?
