    Javier is an Argentine who's been living in Europe for a long time. But he's back in his hometown of Buenos Aires, following his father's death, to look after his frail mother, Miriam, who suffers from mental health issues. Caught between the life he has carefully built abroad over the years and his family duties back home, Javier must make some difficult choices.
