Five stories, five perspectives on the same emotional territory called “country.” A Cuban actress tries to make her way in Chile; two women reunite after decades and confront the passing of time; another survives in solitude while facing her fears; a father and son seek reconciliation amid old wounds; and a birth turns into a desperate race for life. Five intertwined stories—small tales of love, loss, and hope—forming an intimate mosaic about identity, belonging, and the search for a place in the world.

Locked in home during a blackout, mother and daughter argue in front of a candle flame. One holds on to the past, the other worries about the future. The melody of a song protects them from the shadows waiting in the dark, as they prepare to face an important decision that could change their lives.

A young man tries to save his relationship with his father before their differences lead them into an abyss of no return.

A young filmmaker explores his parents' frayed relationship through old archive videos, poems and songs, as they prepare for the sale of their old family home in Guatire and their impending separation.
