Synopsis

Isabel witnesses her husband’s mental decrepitude while attempting to put together her and his memories. Silvia struggles between her desire to be a mother and the hardships of raising an autistic child. At the intersection of these two women’s lives, there is Janaina, who tries to mend a mistake that perhaps can no longer be fixed.

A narrative that travels back and forth in time and seeks answers in the past for the complicated existence of the present. Characters who are confronted with the worst that could have happened to them.
