Sofia grew up taking refuge in the river of the village where her grandmother, Salomé, lives. The lightness of summers spent swimming comes to an abrupt end with Salomé's death. Sofia returns to an empty home that is nothing more than a reminder of old routines and mismatched ways of showing love. But, led by the memory of a moment of courage long gone, she is confronted with a final encounter in the night.
