Plot

edit

Lide, a young mother, works as a security guard for an engineering project that has part of her community up in arms. This drama pales into comparison when, one day, she gets up to find that her daughter Ane is not in the house, nor has her bed been slept in.

Neither the film's characters nor the viewer sees Ane and the heightened tension in the community seems to magnify the void she has left behind. As Lide turns to her ex-partner Fernando (Mikel Losada), Ane’s father, for help, it becomes apparent that she is somehow afraid of this unseen daughter.
