Minne is an Albanian woman whom the artist has never met. She is the grandmother of a life partner of Matete Martini. This character has remained intact and palpable in her memory. Her most vivid memory concerns her nocturnal routine. From a rich and sophisticated family, the woman, always dressed in white, got up at night, lit the candle, opened the windows, and ate mandarins while drinking coffee. A constant habit told by the eyes of a child. Minne is described in her strength, her independence, and her routine. Minne tells of a bond between women of different ages, coming from different parts of the world, linked by different feelings and thoughts.
