Comic artist Alison looks for inspiration in memories of the past. She returns to the time when she lived with her whole family in Maple Avenue in a small Pennsylvania town. She thinks of Dad, who was busy with the improvements to their house and the funeral home, and maybe that's why he was so unavailable at times. He also thinks about his coming out and the family secrets he revealed.
"Welcome to Javorová aleja.
In a house that always shines.
Where everything is quickly fixed.
Everything must have its place.
And confusion, how could it not be, if it can be hidden."
More than inspiration, however, Alison seeks reconciliation with the past and forgiveness for herself and her dad in Maple Alley.
