Synopsis

Two stories unfold simultaneously with Lea at the center of both. One story takes place in Nicosia, Cyprus, the other in Montevideo, Uruguay. Lea's missing brother is the catalyst for both, as in Nicosia a group of scientists are using the DNA method to reveal the identities of persons who are long dead, and in Montevideo Lea sees her brother in a photograph together with an elderly tango singer.

The answer is safely hidden until the end since, between the two cities and between the two stories, there is a... BAR.
