As a first-class film director at the time, Aleia made such a beautiful work without any publicity value, and it was passed, which is really a big mystery.
It turned out that in the intellectual world in 1968, everyone was in a situation of suspicion. They liked this kind of entertainment work that only kept asking questions and had a pure aesthetic sense. Just in the tense revolutionary atmosphere everywhere, it's good to be entertained, they are too talented.
This state of mind is isomorphic to the little writer in 1962 described in the film.

At this time he met the young plump Hannah, who he said was the best gift from God to him. Everything was interrupted with the advent of the revolution, history began where everyday life broke, and his family went to Miami.
What can he do now? In addition to walking on the street, in addition to fantasizing about having sex with the maid at home, baptizing her in the river. He lived off the rental fees of several apartments, which were later also confiscated. So the theme of the movie became the story of his relationship with a 17-year-old girl, Irina, who was later accused and won.
There is no beginning and no end, just like the underdeveloped memories mentioned in the title of the film, these things that happened do not seem to have been cast into memories. Of course, on the other hand, it also reminds him of his distinct class nature. He cannot establish any connection with the commoners, and he lives a very absurd life.
