A girl sits alone in a room with her memories. She misses a man. Perhaps a dead soldier. Dreamy black-and-white.

A beautiful girl in a room, filmed in black-and-white. Alone, she misses no one. She opens her memory and lets in Omar, who disappeared. How long ago is unclear, but her broken heart still hasn't healed. The almost empty room has a portrait of Che Guevara on the wall.
