The Time It Takes

Lina tries to move on but nothing feels quite right and everything takes her back down memory lane.

Lina can't help but think back to moments of revelation, like after Nico's accident, when it became clear he hadn't told her the truth.

An apartment-hunting trek and a postcard that arrives much too late put the spotlight on what Lina had wanted with Nico.

Lina and Nico had a pact about her birthday. Now separated and partying with friends, she longs for their pact to be kept.

Lina gets the chicken pox, which only further isolates her. She remembers the trip back from Nico's father's funeral and his profound sadness.

Lina lands a fellowship but has a hard time being happy without someone to share it with. She recalls a costume party, and Nico dressed as an old man.

A trip to Morocco proves renewing for Lina, who follows her heart and her instincts when she feels drawn to a jewelry maker.

Lina returns to her hometown to see her widowed father before leaving for India. Once back in Madrid, she's faced with a possible change of plans.
