A rural family drama centered on the moral and emotional toll of a father's irresponsibility and his son's conflicted loyalty, set against a backdrop of loss and social expectation.

The Trevino family tries to overcome the irresponsible behavior of Don Cruz, an erratic father with numerous defects that contrast with his son Silvano, a young kid man that is incapable of passing judgment on his own father.
