Memo

Guille, a young Venezuelan immigrant, is a bartender in Berlin. On a lonely night at the bar he is surprised by the appearance of Memo, his brother, whom he hasn’t talked to in a long time. While skeptic at first, Guille goes along with his brother’s wish to have some rum, listen to music and hang out. As the night progresses, Memo tells Guille about a mysterious encounter he had with their dead mother, and a gift she left for him. Guille, who took care of their dying mother while Memo was absent, calls Memo on his lies and carelessness and puts an end to the night. After Memo leaves, Guille finds something left on the counter by his brother, a gift which will trigger his true reconciliation with his brother, and with their home.
