A Mistaken Life

Is it possible to have lived a mistaken life? To have been born to the wrong people, to the wrong place, to have a mistaken past?

Roberto lives in a new town, but has no recollection of moving there and thinks he has always lived there. Late one night, he finds himself holding his yearbook from 1972. He opens it to a picture of a little town, Cloverdale, in Northern California. He feels the warmth, a familiarity, and is convinced that it is there where his past resides.

He turns the page to a picture of a girl he has never met, yet is convinced that she is and always has been the love of his life. His dreams and memories intertwine with the yearbook, and his new world is born. Years later, he finds himself between two worlds in search of a past that never existed. In a present impossible to recognize, let alone accept.
