Synopsis

Is it possible to travel back twice to the same memory? Oskar Alegria built a cabin on an isolated riverbank, right opposite his childhood island, which was now under the waters of a dam. Only the tops of the trees on the island where he used to play stood firm, like the masts of a broken toy boat. The wind between the trunks would be the only vestige of a past about to be relived. The only place for memory to nest.
