Synopsis

A girl called Elena finds after a long time the notebook of her maternal grandmother, Laura. She flips through it for the first time and through those pages she sees her grandmother's life again. Once she reaches the end, Elena recalls a childhood episode in which Laura had revealed to her that if one has a great desire it must be confided to the paper of a notebook to make it come true. As a child she had believed that story and immediately had done so. Now 25 years old, Elena no longer remembers her past wish but now has a new one, to remember Laura.
