    • Synopsis
    • Isabel (45) is in the care of her father Augusto (95), who suffers from a degenerative disease that affects his conscience and in recent months, within the framework of the quarantine, his health, economy and coexistence worsened.
      She has just found her youngest, Augusto (36), whom she has been looking for for a year, and who went to live in Chile without warning. She brings him up to date on the family situation, the rat infestation, and asks for his help.
      Augusto categorically refuses to help despite being her favorite brother, protected and her confidant. He urges her to take care of her to Cesar, her eldest son, spoiled by her father and she to remember the damage that her father caused them.
      Isabel does not remember anything that her brother mentions and insists with her request for help, stressing that the situation of the rats is untenable. Augusto denies that there is such a rat infestation. In the course of the calls the confrontation becomes harsher but while he forgets the fights he simultaneously begins to compile scraps of memories of paternal violence until he discovers that the older brothers, the father's favorites and the absent ones, are devising a plan to stay with him. all assets to inherit.
      As she becomes fully aware that she suffers from the same neurological impairment as her father and that her memory of her fades each day as she wastes her time burdening the care of the family's senior tyrant, she decides to leave him alone.
