“I will always remember this day with you.”
Unai and Elena, childhood friends, skip school to fulfill a forgotten promise: to light fireworks together that they never got around to using. On a tram to a distant beach, long-forgotten memories and feelings resurface. What begins as an escape becomes a journey into who they once were and who they still are.
