The Cottage poster

Rudi and Silvia, with their children Martín, Federico and Silvina, escape from the city to spend a few days in their country house. Rudi gets into arguments with the neighborhood landlord. Children wander around the area. Martín likes fire. Fede is scared. One day, the abandoned house in the background suffers an unexpected fire and a dead person appears: a homeless man suffocated by the smoke. The children did something. Something horrible. Now, we will have to see a way to return to the desired calm.
