A little girl devises an innovative scheme to reconnect with her imprisoned mother during Christmas.

The story follows the family of Virginia, a nurse who brings her teenage sons to their father's private school to be safe during COVID-19 lockdown. This also functions as a pretext for Virginia to get close to her ex-husband, Pablo, who has been living at the school for some time. Once inside, each son smuggles in his girlfriend without the adult's consent, unaware of the intimate secrets that will come to light and change everyone's fate.

A haunting 16 mm visual poem that explores a woman's identity as it distorts, fractures, and stitches itself back together.
