Synopsis

Three friends leave the city for a few days to visit relatives who live in a small town. They discover immense ruins where a mother and her daughter live. The mother is blind, the daughter waits for her boyfriend because she has not kept her promise, and she attends to her mother in her long wait. One of the three friends is interested in the girl. Two worlds will meet and face each other: one that lives dedicated to a past, the other thinking only of living in the present.

The description of that trip, that brief encounter and the complex consequences of this; betrayals and fidelities, toughness and compassion. All about the ruins of a heart loaded with sensuality.
