Worn by time's implacable edges and the unseen wounds of Alzheimer's, dementia, and sclerosis, Consuelo, imprisoned by a domestic solitude that clamps down like a gag, gathers the courage to lift anchor and depart. At the borders of Taiwan, where mountains dissolve into mist and temples whisper to the wind, she discovers not just landscapes, not just people. There, at the edge of the world, the everyday transforming into adventure, she undertakes a journey, reclaiming fragments of lost time to learn, with resolve and dignity, the solemn art of forgetting.
