Sinopsis
When Paloma, a young psychiatrist devoted to her work, arrives at a remote hospital in Galicia to take up her post, she encounters a very special patient. His name is Mario, an unsettling yet seductive man who suffers from a strange condition: Korsakoff syndrome, a memory disorder that presents a fascinating case study for the young doctor.
