Synopsis

Through a series of messages that TÚ recovers from your memory, the protagonist embarks on a dreamlike journey through surreal worlds. In each space, they relive fragments of a virtual romantic relationship with AVRIL, a suicidal young woman, while confronting the most intimate layers of their past.
The reunion with this lost love drags them through a whirlwind of emotions: from virtual infatuation to the heart-wrenching void of farewell. Each stage of their bond materializes in symbolic landscapes: a desolate beach, endless dunes, a frozen cosmos, and a solitary tree.
On this journey, they not only rediscover AVRIL but also face the echoes of their own heart: what remains after death when you haven’t seen the face of the one you love?
