    • One day, Mayte Molina Romero, a middle aged woman wo, sometimes, likes to wear a squirrel full head-on mask, told her daughter that she likes to wear it because when she does, everyone looks at her but nobody sees her. In that exact moment, her daughter knew she had to make a film. What she didn't know is that the film, in the process of its making, would end up becoming a bridge to encounter with her mother after time and disease. This film is a homage to mothers, and a reflection on how fiction can save us.
