Julieta has experienced the intensity of a mature love, brimming with endless details which filled the ordinaries of their relationship, until damnable cancer pried her inseparable companion from her arms – he who was the object of a love given without reserve; then, without further ado, Julieta starts to die while living, discovering the meaning of absence in everything around her, recognizing the presence of her beloved in the animate and the inanimate which, with him, she learned to love. Julieta understands she must continue on her journey, let go, and so she leaves without taking anything, for she has inhabited grief in its most intense expression, and now it’s time to say goodbye to this story Of Love and Departures.
