Matias (played by Juan Pablo Di Pace & Santiago Madrussan), an Argentine filmmaker in his forties, struggles to complete a movie inspired by the memory of his elusive first love, Alexander (played by August Wittgenstein & Oscar Morgan), a Swedish friend he met at an international school in the nineties. Their strong friendship, marked by tenderness and fascination, is abruptly cut short when Alexander is expelled, leaving young Matias with an unresolved story and many undeclared emotions. Twenty-five years later, Matias decides to reopen Pandora’s box by coming face-to-face with Alexander once again. As life begins to imitate art, Matias is forced to confront and question his own memories.
