About the show: When a man seeks out his first love, he discovers that time does not heal all things. Set in the desolate mountains of northern Mexico, Luis finds his first love Margaret. There is just one problem. She doesn't want to see him. Over the course of several days, her world unravels as she faces her current female lover, her ex male lover, their daughter, and her piano. In this story, families are not defined by gender.
