In the summer of 1950 as a teenager, Ricardo Somocurcio falls in love with the vivacious blonde girl in Miraflores Peru who says she and her sister are from Chile and that her name is Lily. By the end of the summer she is found out as a fraud and disappears just as quickly as she came.

She leaves for guerrilla training in Cuba, promising to come back to him, but never does.
