Good wombs bear bad children.
Rubén, an eleven-year-old boy, lives in a rural area with his father until he suddenly disappears. In the aftermath, Rubén moves in with his grandmother, a woman he barely knows and with whom he must learn to coexist. In a setting where time seems to have stood still, their relationship gradually reveals a family history shaped by wounds passed down from one generation to the next. As Rubén grows older, he tries to understand this emotional legacy and find a way to break the cycle, confronting his past in an attempt to heal what he has inherited.
