Synopsis

After dreaming of his late grandmother, a Chinese-Peruvian writer returns to Peru to write the great novel about Chinese immigration that he never managed to write. On this journey, he comes to realise that some stories may not survive because they are written down, but because they find someone willing to carry them on.
