Yaïr Mozes, an aging Israeli filmmaker, travels to Santiago de Compostela for a retrospective of his work. With Ruth, the actress who was his muse and caused his break with screenwriter Saúl Trigano, he reviews his films: the memories force him to question his life and his art. An enigmatic painting of Roman Charity unsettles him; Ruth doesn't seem to notice.
