The Chilean independent journalist Augusto Góngora played a key role in recording life under the reign of terror of Auguste Pinochet, especially in the 1970s and 1980s. From 1990 until his retirement, he mainly presented cultural programs on Televisión Nacional de Chile. In 2015 it turned out that he had Alzheimer's. This documentary shows how his wife Paulina Urrutia, a former Minister of Culture, supports him in a patient, compassionate and, above all, loving manner during a period in which he falls into memory loss more and more often and for longer periods of time. This somewhat voyeuristic personal diary is also a metaphor that shows how important it is that there is always someone who can tell history, show it through photos and video images and keep lost spirit(s) back on the right track. An ode to a loving marriage, but also to the historiography in which journalists all over the world play a key role.
