One hot summer day, she walks down the streets and along the river, looking for spots that were once so familiar. She feels both at home and an outsider. In the local newspaper, she sees a photo taken by her ex-boyfriend Mariano. She asks all the old friends and classmates she meets about him. She finds out that Mariano lives in Victoria, a small town nearby. Ana decides to rent a car and embark on a new journey. An intimate portrait of a young woman looking for memories, places and people from her childhood.
