Isabela Muñoz, a once-famous Cuban ballerina, passes away. On hearing the news, seventy-year-old Luis Vargas, her former lover, becomes tormented by a fragment of the melody from a performance Isabela gave in 1967. Luis tries to complete the melody as a way of letting go of the past, but after a meandering search through the streets of Havana, he’s led deeper into a world of memory he has spent decades trying to forget.
