San, an Andalusian winemaker, is haunted by "fragments" after discovering a cave on his land. Through these fragments, we encounter his past lives in turbulent times across the centuries: the persecution of the Cathars, the plague years, Justinian's Constantinople (Islambol), and a monastic order in Andalusia that turned to worshiping the moon. He comes to realize that he has always been one and the same person, named Boismont?a truth carried within him through these "memories." "We are not people with a soul ... no, we are souls with a body at our disposal from time to time."
