Vera, 11 year old, disappears without a trace. Two years later she returns not as a teenager but as a young woman. She remembers nothing. The parents are upset but the DNA test confirms that it is really her. When memories come back, Vera realizes that she had lived the life of a Chilean man, clinically dead, who, on the other side of the world, had awakened at the same moment in which she had vanished.
