Cris dedicates herself body and soul to athletics. While preparing for the 800-meter race at the Spanish National Championships, she suffers a severe psychotic break brought on by mounting pressure. As recovery unfolds, Cris keeps her eyes fixed on the track, holding on to the dream that has always defined.

Alex, a young actress, is sexually assaulted at a New Year’s Eve party at a friend’s house. That night, she never manages to see the face of her aggressor, a fact that will end up eating away at her. Throughout the following year, she will have to face feelings of guilt, disgust and shame. While Alex tries to channel all her pain through theatre, where she takes on the role of the famously vengeful Medea, her brother, Adrian, must face the guilt he feels at not having been able to protect his sister and his impulse to let himself be carried away by his own decisions. What were once the typical conflicts you might expect between any siblings, give way to much more extreme and complex emotions.

A mother is trapped by both a close bond to her daughter and a day-to-day life whose elephant in the room is her own addiction, which nobody mentions, remaining a taboo.
