She would sit on the rocking chair and read a magazine. When she finish reading it, she would read the magazine cover to cover again, because she forgot she had read it. That starts Bunuel to write his autobiography. Because he not sure what is the existence without memories.

The film is about memories. About losing memories or haunted by memories. The main dramatic element is about a girl try to search her own memories and find out why is she at the stage she is now. There is contrast between the two leads: one without memories and one who get triggered easily by memories.
