SYNOPSIS
In the last days of summer, Martina and Alejandra arrive at their grandmother Benita’s house in the mountains. This will be their last summer together, as Martina is leaving to study abroad. During these days, Benita talks to her granddaughters and reflects on the opportunities she never had. She is faced with the dilemma of whether to rejoice in her granddaughters’ rich present or to be driven by the resentment of her unfulfilled dreams. The short film shows Benita’s inner journey as she tries to find peace in the midst of her conflicts and the increasingly intense loneliness that surrounds her.
