Two Spanish women from different generations meet in a hospital room in Belgium. María (Petra Martínez) has been living there for decades after emigrating when she was young, and Verónica (Anna Castillo) has arrived recently in search of opportunities she never found in Spain. A strange friendship forged between them leads María on a return journey to the south of Spain with an unusual mission.
