    • Synopsis
    • One summer morning, a girl drowns in the pool of her house. Her little body stays there until her mother finds it and leaves her other daughter, Cleo, alone in the house for hours. Soon Cleo's aunt will arrive, with "the cousins": Leoncia, Manuela and Nerina.
      Each girl will be immersed in a particular micro universe; while Nerina flirts with the few men within her reach, Manuela looks herself in the mirror because her mother has her on a diet; and meanwhile, Cleo, marked by the tragedy of her sister, but unable to express it: her mother is locked in her room, like her aunt, who takes care of her mother’s depression.

      That is why Cleo, along with her cousins, will immerse herself in the feminine world of childhood, just as perverse as death itself: the fear of never having kissed, the fear of being alone forever, fear of the menstruation "that is like babies that cannot come to the world and die", a body that no longer belongs to the same person that inhabits it, the change, the irreversible change of maturity.
