Since 1955 Doña Bertha visited the family grave at the Panteón del Roble in Monterrey, Mexico. Next is the grave of an American soldier, Edmond William Quear, who died when he was 24 years old. Doña Bertha left a flower on the grave each time she visited the cemetery and this became a family tradition that remains even after her death. One of her grandsons decided to investigate the origin of this soldier and meet his friends and family. (Monterrey International Film Festival)
