For three and a half centuries, from the same day that Diego Velázquez (1599-1660) applied his last brushstroke to the canvas, the enigma of “Las meninas, o La familia de Felipe IV” (1656) has not been deciphered. The secret story of a painting unveiled as if it was the resolution of a perfect crime.

Teresa's daughters and her mother-in-law, a nonagenarian with senile dementia, arrive at her house. The daughters will meet their mother and grandmother at a family reunion to commemorate the anniversary of their father's death.
