    • Synopsis
    • Three years after the death of her son Nico,
      Florencia organises a family camping trip in the same forest where the tragedy occurred. She invites her daughters, Lita and Joaquina, with whom she has a difficult relationship, and her ex-husband Axel, from whom she separated after the child's death, on the pretext of placing an altar in honour of Nico, on his third anniversary.

      Discovering some stereotypical implements in a mysterious box, Lita, the youngest daughter, who has a special sensitivity, discovers that her mother has not told the truth about the altar. When Lita sees the appearance of Yago, a strange healer hired by Florencia, she confirms her suspicion that her mother is actually preparing a summoning ritual to bring Nico back to life.

      Yago will be in charge of carrying out the invocation to bring the boy ‘back’ from the dead, but Florencia's macabre decision will put her whole family at risk and bring dire consequences. She should never have altered the nature of things.
