A story of teenage love set against the backdrop of the 60's, filmed on the picturesque tropical beaches of Puerto Rico. A classic Latino love story, asking the timeless question -- whether it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.
In a New York hospital, a man is cured of heroin addiction after a grueling three-month treatment. Although no longer an addict, he has complete amnesia: the only clues to his past are an expensive ring he was wearing when admitted, and a book of matches from a Puerto Rican nightclub. He pawns the ring and buys clandestine passage on a boat to Puerto Rico in search of his identity.
