    • Synopsis
    • Alone in a house on the outskirts of a beach in Mexico, lives a poor man in his mid 70's. With no deed to the land he survives on, he witnesses with despair the demolition of his house. Little by little he begins to lose his very mind. Memories from an untethered past begin to haunt his daily existence. Thus begins a journey into the mountains and the forest in search of faces from his past and echoes of another time, another younger self.
