Overview
Nino - a reclusive artist - encounters a familiar but forgotten portrait suddenly hanging on an otherwise blank wall in his grand, rent-controlled New York apartment. The painting awakens decades-old memories and associated Catalan mysteries. After a lingering flashback, Nino embarks on a journey to Barcelona in search of a long-lost love and faded artistic inspiration. Ultimately, his quest takes him for a ride on a magic realism merry-go-round circling Catalunya's cultural and historic enigmas. Within this perfectly serious, humorous, mysterious, serendipitous, surreal, ageless, avant-garde, Romanesque, romantic setting, Nino's evolving memories continue to be inexplicably lost and found in a medieval Catalan book that remains, paradoxically, unwritten.
