Pilar and Isabel. Mario and Jaime. Two mothers. Two children. A new family unit. A new normal. Well, at least that is what Pilar and Isabel hope will happen during their week-long vacation in a rural house: that their respective 13-year-old children will be able to understand their relationship, their love, and that they will be able to connect and accept each other as what they should be: siblings. But, of course, there are many ways to connect and accept each other.

Hours later, he can only remember the sound of a bang and the strange feeling of having being hit with something more than a bullet.
