Synopsis

How can we talk about what is not told? Lucía approaches her grandmother Edilia looking for answers, but she finds just silence. A silence that is long, deep-rooted; it’s dark and painful, impossible to break. When Lucía accepts that Edilia will never give her the answers she seeks, she decides to look into that silence, to listen closely into it, trying to understand it. Together, they explore the limits of words and images, making that silence a place where they meet.
