Summaries

After being given permission to re-inter his mother's body in their family vault, a middle-aged man who survived the Spanish Civil War as a child returns home and relives old memories.

When the single middle-aged Luis travels from Barcelona to bury the remains of his mother in the vault of his family in Segovia, he is lodged by his aunt Pilar in her old house where he spent his summer of 1936 with her. He meets his cousin Angelica, who was his first love, living on the first floor with her husband and daughter, and he recalls his childhood in times of the Spanish Civil War entwined with the present.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
