After the tragedy of the death of a baby at the sea. The family says goodbye to her and from that moment the loneliness of her sister begins, who feels not only the loss of her sister but her mother´s too, who is absent due to the loss, forgeting the existence of her oldest daughter, who feels very lonely. She takes refuge in dreams of memories of happier moments with her mother, mixed with the reality of what happened. The girl feels like her mother is somehow gone too.
