An old song from the radio, suddenly triggers memories of youth to an elderly ex-army General suffering from dementia, making him momentarily recall the evening of his engagement to his wife. After a telephone from his old-time friend, a grocer, telling him that his favorite grape variety has finally arrived, a growing urge to reclaim his old freedom and independence make him secretly escape against the doctor’s warning. An unexpected incident seriously reverses the couple’s fragile daily routine, while unpredictably rekindles the spark of their life long flame. Can you ever forget love?
