A provincial land. Christmas, year’s end. Two brothers. One is 17 years old, the other 10. They swear to keep a secret. It has to do with their father’s frequent absence. One girl is let in on the secret by the older brother. This time the father isn’t absent like usual. What happened? Only Vicente and Clara know. Secrets, promises, separations, expectations. By dint of surviving their secret the two brothers go lost.
