A family of five members goes through tough times after the death of a woman: a mother, a wife, a daughter-in-law, a sister-in-law… This situation smashes the household life, placing the responsability on a twelve year old girl. A grandfather more concerned about money than affection. An uncle with a child’s hearth, but with an intelectual disability. A father grieving over the loss who drowns his sorrows in alcohol. Because of her family’s lack of ability to go on, a girl takes over and burdens the responsability of the three men’s life.
