The film exposes the harsh reality of many Latin American countries that drives many to emigrate in the midst of difficult social and economic conditions.

Daniela Alvarado represents Emiliana, a mother and university professor who is going through a difficult moment in her life when her son Santiago suffers an accident in a nation where the health system is precarious. Depression wins her day by day and she doesn't want to continue. At this moment she receives great support from a man she met on the street, Daniel (José Manuel Suárez) and begins to feel great appreciation for him. However, the situation with her son and the crisis in Venezuela make her make the decision to embark on a new life outside the country and rebuild her life despite the fact that she must move away from Daniel.

The Goyas award the best productions from Spain and Spanish-speaking countries and can be considered equivalent to the Oscar in the film industry.
