Notes:
An old colonel goes each Friday to the post office to see if his long-awaited pension has come through. He knows it will not, so does his wife who is still grieving over the death of their son the year before. The colonel has a mission: to elevate the grim routine of poverty and failure to a high mass of defiance. He does that by showing that a heart that has broken still beats with a vengeance.

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.
