Plot

[edit]

Amanda (played by Elena Anaya) and Javier (played by Benjamín Vicuña) separate after the death of their son. Each of them tries to rebuild their life in their own way: she through grief, and he through escapism. Together, they embark on a journey that could bring them back together as a couple, but they also come to realize that love alone is not enough to overcome the tragedy they have experienced.
