In an impulsive act Ema and Gastón have given back their adopted child. They were unable to cope with the boy who turned out to be a firestarter – with tragic consequences. Now guilt is gnawing away at the marriage of the dancer and the choreographer. In the hands of Pablo Larraín (JACKIE) this family tragedy transforms into a visionary cinematic experience, including street dance sequences on the rooftops of Valparaiso and a charismatic protagonist who is radically different from the standard ideals of motherhood.
