Iván Bilbao, 33 years old, walks down the corridor of a maximum-security prison to finally arrive at the prison gate. On the other side, a shattered family waits for him, after five years of absence. Back in his hometown, a confused Iván wanders between his home, and the possibility of recovering a lost version of himself. His wife, Yamila, and his daughter, Luz, will put Iván to the test in his search for a better destiny, which is glimpsed by the arrival of a son.
