The Past is the story of Rene, this unexpected child, as told by her own child as he searches for the truth about his parents? mysterious and romantic history. Through the reminiscences of his mother's friend, the pieces of the past begin to fit together into a delicate mosaic of the truth. What really happened in that seaside town?
