- Summary:
- Francisco will forever be haunted by the sight of his best friend Juan lying on the floor of a train station, pierced by five bullets. He'll remember that sight as he flees the political uprising in Uruguay that night. He'll remember when he's holding a dying homeless man in Windsor Station in Montreal eight months later. He'll remember when he's a successful architect. He'll remember when he's having an affair with a Queb́ećoise pianist named Claire. He'll remember when he's much older, a vagrant sleeping in a cafe ́that was once part of Windsor Station, where he meets his son, an activist in the student strikes in Quebec. As he tries for a better life, Francisco's past keeps finding him, until it blurs with the present in a series of hallucinations, challenging him to reclaim his identity and his rights.
