Sinopse
Pilar, a retired woman, lives with her husband José Luis and her brother Juan. The three of them often talk about their chilhood and youth. Also about the changes that have occured since then like the neglect of the fields, the esparto industry or the arrival of technology. Juan and José try to modernize their environment. However, Pilar is tempted to recuperate lost memories and pay homage to her ancestors. Between reality and fiction, the documentary reflects how important memories are in old age. At this time of life there are a lot of past experiences, but there´s little future and memories often become apparent in daily life. We see that suddenly an object, the landscape, a senastion a photograph, rushes in the present and revives images almost forgotten.
