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.

Juan lives in clandestinity. Just like his mum, his dad and his adored uncle Beto, outside his home he has another name. At school, Juan is known as Ernesto. And he meets María, who only has one name. Based on true events, set in the Argentina of 1979, this film is one about love.

Confined to a secluded rest home and trapped within his stroke-ridden body, a former Judge must stop an elderly psychopath who employs a child's puppet to abuse the home's residents with deadly consequences.
