Nostalgia for a love that is no more (seaman's knot).Various souvenirs: the cork of the last bottle of champagne drunk together, the watch and lipstick she forgot, the postcards she sent him, all kept in a small box.The ocean chart with turn-of-century compass and boat symbolizes the distance now seperating the lovers.The lover consoles himself with wine: bottle and corkscrew in the form of a key (key to his heart).
