A young woman revisiting memories of a lost love days before Martial Law is proclaimed -- an old, jaded mechanic -- a young man on his way to the countryside encountering a host of militia men and their tortured captive -- these are stories of forgotten hopes, of wearied struggles, of memories lost. Can they still be ever found?
