Synopsis

The movie tells the love story of Maria Teresa (María Antonieta Hidalgo) and Antonio (Slavko Sorman) when they were young. Many years later Antonio (Francisco Villarroel) arrives in Paris, facing memories of an unforgettable love that scarred him forever and changed the course of his life. He is in Paris to speak at a conference about human rights and in the journey from the airport to the event hall, he reconstructs his past romance with the beautiful Maria Teresa, a young Paraguayan, a political refugee who escaped from her country to save herself from the criminal repression of the dictatorship of the bloodthirsty general Alfredo Stroessner. In Paraguay, Maria Teresa was a member of a university student political group, opposed to the dictatorship, whose leader was her boyfriend Ramon. One night, when they were involved in a clandestine activity, they were detained by the regime's military police and locked in a prison. Maria Teresa and Antonio fell in love and even thought of having a child. They decided to live together, and Antonio changed his ways, María Teresa transformed him; in the end, she had to decide between her present love and her past.
