    • Oliver (7) lives with his older brothers in an arid, coastal town in northern Costa Rica. While his parents travel temporarily to the capital to receive treatment for his mother's cancer, Oliver builds a strong friendship with Paloma (28), a neighbour in whom he projects the fantasy of a new mother. With his parents' return, Oliver will face his mother's illness and the rejection he feels towards her up close, but his relationship with Paloma and his connection with the birds will help him find his own way to say goodbye.
