by Jacobo Bergareche

Diego and Claudia are finalizing the preparations for the housewarming party of their house in Menorca. A few days before the event, while walking with his family, Diego recognizes a foreigner on a terrace with whom he had met at a festival in the United States. That woman, whose name Diego does not know and whom he has not seen for twenty years, helped him overcome a traumatic event.
