Mia and Marcel have forgotten who they are and who they were to each other. They now reunite in a border forest marked by the Spanish Civil War, in search of a fountain said to restore lost memories. Along the way, past and present blur, as do personal, collective, and historical memory.

The film participated in the Shanghai International Film Festival 2025 and had its European premiere on BOO 2025.
