A coming-of-age drama set against Argentina's military dictatorship, where two children navigate innocence and awakening while their family hides from political persecution.

In 1976, Argentina fell into the hands of a de facto government. Thousands of citizens are persecuted and kidnapped. This is the case of the parents of two children, who, knowing they are wanted, decide to hide.
