A slow-burn character study of two damaged people in Mexico City finding unexpected tenderness through caregiving, set against poverty and personal trauma.

After getting out of jail, where she learned to care for the sick, Alma, an albino woman, is determined to recover at any cost something much more important than her own freedom. In order to do so, Alma must spend her nights taking care of Clemente, a hypochondriac compulsively obsessed with avoiding sudden death. Their relationship moves through suspicion, fear and compassion to tenderness and love.
