In 1989, José Luis and Luz María, a young couple living in Galicia who have just had a daughter, get divorced. José Luis films the entire separation process with his camera. In 2019, their daughter Paula, who has been living in France with her girlfriend Joy for ten years, separates. Paula, like her father, has been recording their love story and its end all this time. This documentary uses intimate archive footage to initiate a dialogue between two separations thirty years apart and attempts to answer the question: What remains when love ends?
