The Fountain of Memory

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.
