    • Synopsis
    • Toribio Bardelli discovers, at his wife's funeral, that she was unfaithful to him for many years and no one –including his own children– ever told him anything. Met with this betrayal, Toribio becomes obsessed with reactivating his sexual life, unconsciously trying to sink all of those who humiliated him. What he doesn't know is that he will enter a self-destructive journey in which his children will end up involved. As Toribio approaches his own end, Sara, Luz and Silvestre will examine their own existence, taking us through a reflection on grief and how to deal with life after a loss.
