Rubén, an eleven-year-old boy, lives in a rural area with his father until he suddenly disappears. In the aftermath, Rubén moves in with his grandmother, a woman he barely knows and with whom he must learn to coexist. In a setting where time seems to have stood still, their relationship gradually reveals a family history shaped by wounds passed down from one generation to the next.
