    Brief synopsis

    A famous Spanish actor, Julio Arenas, disappears during the shooting of a film. Although his body is never found, the police conclude that he has suffered an accident at the edge of the sea. Many years later, this kind of mystery is back in the news as a result of a television programme that aims to evoke the figure of the actor, offering for the first time images of the last scenes in which he participated, filmed by his close friend, the director Miguel Garay. The beginning and the end of an unfinished film.
