Human bones are found at the Garizmendi farmhouse. Farmers Fermin and Karmen call their son Nestor, who reports the matter to the authorities. But, when the agents turn up, the bones are gone. Suddenly, the bell on the nearby chapel begins to peal. This bad omen announces the coming of tragic events and reopens old wounds within the family and those around it.

At the death of his father, Paulo, the youngest son, will have to be in charge of his mentally handicapped brother Daniel. Based on the novel by Bernardo Atxaga.

The first step is taken inward and in silence.
