Grandmother Emilia’s death is the moment of coming together. A number of women -mothers, sisters, and daughters- find themselves united in Mexico City. The house of infancy allows each of them the expression of lived feelings and experiences. A banal and intimate story, witch concludes magically, giving life to the incredible, to the resurrection.

In an isolated village in the Mexican desert, Griselda lives with the wind, the silence and suspended time. She looks at life with humanity and pragmatism. Her husband emigrated to the United States, and like other women in the village, the children and the old, Griselda lives in a state of waiting.... The haunting presence of absence colours the portrait of this mother of a family, in her strength and fragility.
