The Buenos Aires Children's Trust is a center dedicated to protecting disadvantaged children. In 1939, the world's first symphony orchestra, composed exclusively of blind young people, was founded there. For decades, eleven teenagers devoted themselves to music body and soul. Basilio, the last survivor of that orchestra, is about to retire. The film shows how Braille scores are made and read, how the instruments are played, and describes the story behind each of the Trust's rooms.

The film delicately follows 25-year-old Anna, whose mother has died suddenly. She wants to send her Orthodox mother on her last journey according to customs, but she runs into bureaucratic rules that do not allow Anna to dress her departed mother herself. This conflict brings her together with Maria, a 45-year-old funeral home worker, who in this story represents the hidden fears of death and grief on a deep emotional level.
