Argentina, 2001. In the midst of the economic crisis, Manuel and his family have to move to his grandmother's house. Caught in a strange war over the occupation of spaces, Manuel finds, in his grandmother, a particular way of resisting.

A broken family, a mother and her two preteen children, escape the heat and violence to spend an unplanned weekend in the sierras of Córdoba, Argentina. But between storm clouds, a stalking cell phone and migraines, rest and peace do not seem to be part of the landscape.
