Rodrigo and his mother travel to the town where his older brother just died. In this calm place they will go through the first stages of their mourning. Rodrigo will start to peer on grown-ups grief and, imperceptibly, will begin to leave childhood behind. His mother will try to uncover the mysteries surrounding that death. A story suspended in time, floating between the countryside lost places.

Two brothers await with their dying mother the precise moment that the rain gives them a break. The harvest has had its time to ripen and has begun to weaken. They would make a decision: stay there to take care of her or go out to do the job before the water destroys the crop.

The story reflects the lives of several teenagers from a German colony in the province of Entre Ríos, some of whom want to leave, while others choose to stay in the village. Ferdinand, a young German who is in the colony to study its customs, disappears. This fact will shock both young people and adults, as well as the police who will arrive to investigate.
