Synopsis

Lili and Mateo are mother and son. Their relationship is one of a profound dependence. They live comfortably in their stifling reality until one of them is diagnosed with a fatal disease. The mere thought of separation triggers the surfacing of their darkest and most toxic side. Eduardo Casanova is consolidated as one of the most singular directors on the Spanish scene with this peculiar approach to the mother-child bond.
