Para que no me olvides = Something to remember me by

Irene lives with her son David, a young architecture student, and with her father Mateo, an old man who is full of life despite his tragic history: he was practically a child during the Spanish Civil War and during the post-war repression, he lost his home and his entire family.

David found Clara, or she found him, at the large supermarket nearby where she is a cashier. They not only love but also understand each other. As the only child of separated parents, David cannot escape his mother’s hostility towards a relationship she feels is not good for him, as it puts his personal and professional future in jeopardy.

Irene is deeply committed to her job directing a theater group of blind people, but at home there is a growing gap she cannot see how to bridge. Mateo holds them all together, perhaps due to his age, his experience, or his good nature. He might seem to be not of this world but only because the world is much bigger than it looks and his place in it is essential, as a person recovering his dignity, like all those who were trampled by a terrible war and an implacable regime.

Their lives are much like our own. Until one day, an unexpected event will put them to the test and they will have to learn to live all over again, as each of them discovers what he or she did not know about the others.

Irene vive con su hijo David, un joven estudiante de arquitectura, y con su padre, un anciano vitalista incluso a pesar de haber perdido su casa y toda su familia en la Guerra Civil. David está apasionadamente enamorado de Clara, y cuando decide irse a vivir con ella se encuentra la oposición de Irene, que no ve con buenos ojos la relación. Cree que pondrá en peligro el futuro profesional y personal de su hijo.

Así son sus vidas, cercanas y reconocibles. Pero un inesperado accidente las pondrá a prueba y tendrán que aprender a vivir descubriendo cada uno de ellos lo que no sabía de los demás.
