Jorge and Laura are about to divorce. Helpless, he witnesses the last moments of Laura's presence in his life: he hears how she packs her things, luggage closing for the last time, the conversation with whoever is picking her up... She says goodbye, affectionate yet firm, and she leaves. And that's it. Jorge stays alone, hearing the sound of the house.

Miguel is a 14-year-old kid about to go back to a centre for minors. His mother, out of work and with an unstable personal life, is incapable of taking care of him. This is why Miguel lives in a state of constant urgency, doing the housework, selling Kleenex or stealing from supermarkets. All this ends when Social Services come for him again, and his mother makes him seek refuge in the house of Bogdan, a Rumanian ex-lover of hers who lives in a nearby town. At the same time, María, the owner of a bar, sympathizes with the boy and gives him the virtually maternal treatment that he does not get in his own home. However, everything is thrust forward when the mother suddenly disappears
