A languid, observational portrait of class and racial tensions simmering beneath the surface of middle-class family life in rural Argentina, told through accumulated small moments rather than dramatic incident.

Amid the sweltering summer heat in northern Argentina, two middle-class families retreat to a crumbling country estate and a modest townhouse, where strained relationships, simmering tensions, and the presence of children and servants quietly expose the fractures of family life. Between idle days, gossip, and unspoken desires, the boundaries of class, tradition, and faith are reflected in their everyday interactions.
