María José is 25. Her life moves back and forth between the monotony of class at the university, her eternally distant parents, and a couple of alternative spaces where she can explore her own and others’ limits. One day, she meets Javier, a boy she really likes and tries to have a relationship with, but her behaviour starts changing radically. In fact, she’s a few months into her pregnancy and no one knows.

Felipe returns to the family farm for the anniversary of his father's death, where his mother Sandra, brother Sebastián, and young nephew Sebas live. In the boy, Felipe recognizes a process he knows too well: the transformation of a boy into a "man." He watches Sebas absorb the rules of a world where shame is used to teach, cruelty is mistaken for affection, and pain goes unnamed. The emotional inheritance shared by the men in his family threatens to turn intimacy into violence.
