Synopsis

Inés is a 35-year-old photographer who is currently struggling with a very difficult personal moment: she is expecting a child, and the idea of facing maternity makes her feel extremely vulnerable. In order to evade from her thoughts, she starts editing a book with her own poems and photographies, something very personal, which leads her to explore her past: she will begin a process of reflection and will think about the relationship she had with her mother, how was the life of her family living in the south, and how the absence of her father affected her, since he disappeared during the Argentinian Dictatorship in 1977. They are all images that had been frozen in her memories, and now rise in a moment which will be key to guide her life.
