Life in a Wardrobe

My little sister works for an antiques dealer. When they get containers in from overseas they clean out all pieces of furniture. Sometimes while doing so they find things left by the previous owner (i.e. passports, pictures etc).

It spans a decade from 1975 to 1985 and shows glimpses into the lives of a couple, their show poodles, and their travels.
