San Daniel reflects on his past when he engages in conversation with his alter ego. The result is a quest for the truth of his memories. Are they real memories, or have they been contrived? The conversations prepare San for the ultimate big step at the end of his life and result in philosophical reflections on the meaning of life. Is one responsible for the decisions made in their life, or are we merely part of a whole, over which we have very little control? Is guilt instilled? What is the purpose of study? Why are we guided by status and expectations? Is being humane our calling, or do we all have our own agendas? The quest takes us through San's early years in Brazil. We explore memories from Java and Indonesia, and ultimately it brings us to Andalusia, where San, like his grandfather in Java, has plantations. Is life cyclical? What can we expect after this life? Are we bodies, or do we have bodies at our disposal? His alter ego corrects San until he realizes the truths that truly matter. Truths that are universal.
