Notes:
On April 11, 1956, destiny (and a trivial mistake) sabotaged a plan by two young lovers to elope. But when a letter arrives 35 years later after it was mailed, Ofelia Rosales de Mendoza, one know as Ofelita "My Eyes," begins by making inquiries into the whereabouts of her lost parmour, José Luna. The conflicting stories she hears from the people who knew them as teenagers only increase her confusion -- until up walks the man himself, at the café where they were to rendezvous so many years before.
