Synopsis

María Fernanda (23) seeks answers to why her brother Felipe (32) left home without explanation fifteen years ago. With humor and love, she invites him to talk about what happened at that time, and together they rewrite the moments that led him to make that decision. In a playful game with time, family archive and the camera, María Fernanda manages to close a wound and creates the farewell she always wanted.
