When Rubén, an eleven-year-old boy, finds his father has mysteriously disappeared, he’s forced to go and live with his grandmother, whom he barely knows. In a rural setting where time seems to stand still, the boy will learn from the elderly woman how family wounds are passed down from generation to generation, and as he grows up, he’ll struggle to come to terms with them and discover everything he never knew about his father.
