Synopsis: Believing he has nothing to live for, Jota is ready to commit suicide. He's ready to jump until he sees a woman crash and fall off her bike. He immediately goes to help her, or so it seems. Main character Lisa has lost her memory, and Jota has decided to take advantage of the situation. He tells everybody that they have been married, and then he flees with her to a secluded campground where they can begin a new life. However, his plan does not go off without a hitch...

Opinion: I believe that this movie could have been much better. Although it has a decent storyline, it does get hard to follow at certain points of the movie. Some people may actually lose interest in this one before they get to finish it. If the roughed up storyline isn't enough to scare you away, then perhaps the cinematography will be. Certain scenes in this film will make you laugh because of how poorly they were shot. The story has adecent moral to it, but the delivery is so weak that it is hard to pay attention long enogh to learn it. The film would have been much better had effort been put into the cinematography.
