After a long time without coinciding at their summer house, the Vidal family spends the last vacation with grandmother Angela, who suffers from advanced Alzheimer's. For the first time in her life, Nora (14), feels that she does not find her place: children's games seem ridiculous to her and adult conversations are still too big for her. But everything changes with the arrival of Libertad (15), the daughter of Rosana, the Colombian woman who takes care of Angela. Rebellious and magnetic, Libertad becomes the gateway to a different summer for Nora and the two girls quickly forge an intense and uneven friendship. Together they leave the bubble of protection and comfort of the family home and discover a new world in which Nora feels freer than ever.
