Alejandro is an elderly writer, and is driving back to the small coastal village where he was born and raised. But the peaceful place of his memories has been turned into a vast tourist resort, full of brazen consumerism with no charm left at all. Once there, Alejandro reminisces about a painful episode from his past. When he was a child he met a mysterious woman whom he has been trying to forget ever since. A woman of wild beauty, she was married to a sailor. However, there were rumours in the village that she was having a relationship with another man and so all her neighbours disowned her because of her supposedly adulterous behaviour. But Alejandro was totally and madly in love with her.
Back in the present day, and still wrapped up in his memories, Alejandro suddenly thinks he sees her appear just around the street corner. No. No. It can't be... It was someone else. But even though it seems like madness.. it is her it is the same woman with whom he fell in love. Time has stood still for her.
Perturbed, nervous, fearful and yet excited, Alejandro follows her but he will soon discover that she has been waiting for him.
