In an isolated mountain village, Juan lives with his stepdaughter Manuela, shielding her from the world out of fear she may inherit the mental illness that led her mother to a tragic, violent end. As Manuela begins to break free and connect with Antonio, a kind-hearted young man with an intellectual disability, buried fears resurface. What follows is a slow-burning psychological drama about inherited trauma, overprotection, and the thin line between love and control.
