This film tells the story of a woman who, limited by health restrictions in times of pandemic, must stay at home with her children. Her link with the outside world are the images she sees from the window of her house. The dumpster is the center of attention while around it, other neighbors, like her, perform simple daily gestures, such as hanging up clothes, taking them down and sweeping.
There are those who repeat other gestures: they are the people on the edges of life and to whom the media refer when they mention the increase in the poverty rate. We usually see them near every dumpster in Montevideo or sleeping in the streets, but we don't stop anymore. They have sadly become part of our daily landscape.
Inside the house, the radio announces the rate of the virus, the poverty rate or the value of the dollar. Outside, in addition to all the episodes around the container, we see daily the funeral procession of a company in the neighborhood. Anguish and deaths are increasing in equal measure.
Meanwhile, inside her own house, the director tries to survive the adversity of confinement and family life. She does not always succeed.
By establishing a dialogue between inside and outside, between the public space that sometimes becomes private and the intimacy of her home, we witness this story as the days pass and the seasons change.
