SYNOPSIS

A lost intimacy between two brothers begins to resurface when Antonio returns to his town in Andalusia, to a collapsing family home to help his twin brother Javier, who suffers from a congenital disease. They will have to face conflicts from the past, feelings of loneliness, and reproaches, which will culminate in a confrontation between them. Antonio must confront the dilemma of whether to stay and try to fix things or go back to his own life.
