The story tells the story of a police detective partner and a female judge jointly investigating a rape and homicide case. This case occurred in 1974. It was in the darkest era in Argentina. Justice was often not served, and the victims had to use lynching. Come to avenge the dead.

Two prisoners of memories, a hateful paranoia, spent his entire life mourning his dead wife, exhausting himself to imprison his enemies for 25 years; a concealment of love, a long-distance away from home, only 25 years to overcome fear and face love. The knot they can't let go of stems from a rape and murder of lack of justice in the dark age. The past is a scar that cannot be covered by the Tao. It constructs ideas and influences choices.

I do not agree with the death penalty. The death penalty is not enough to relieve hatred. Let the murderer slowly grow old and lead a meaningless life! But in fact it is not the case. The so-called correct way should be to forget the painful past, forget the hatred, and start life again in a different environment. Maybe you will find happiness, the pain of your enemy, what you don’t know is your pain, so why should it be painful? !

    [English subtitles]

    Benjamín Esposito: [voiceover] On June 21st, 1974, Ricardo Morales had breakfast with Liliana Coloto for the last time. For the rest of his life he'd remember every single detail of that morning. Planning their first vacation... Drinking tea with lemon for his nagging cough... with his usual lump and a half of sugar. The fresh berry jam he'd never taste again. The flowers printed on her nightgown... and especially, her smile. That smile like the sunrise... blending in with the sunlight on her left cheek...
