Valladolid, 1944. A boy (13) rushes into a house he finds with the door open, throwing off his pursuer. Inside, he finds a table with bread, water, and milk and sits down to eat. A retired soldier (42), carrying a cane, appears inside the house, reassures the boy, and sits down with him. The two talk about their past while the boy continues to eat and drink, until he falls asleep at the table.

The love that a mother feels justifies everything, a mother is capable of murder because of her child, she kills, she steals, she works the corner or any other thing that keeps her child alive; the love that a mother feels, brings up the better and the worst in every woman. Ursula (Ana Polvorosa) is a mother and she is living two tragedies at the same time, a zombie invasion and the fact that her husband left home with their son, Nicolas. To Ursula, the zombie invasion is just “an anecdote” because she, as a mother and as a woman, only cares about her missing child, helpless and alone in a world surrounded by green and crazy beings.
