- Synopsis
- Clota and Stella are mother and daughter. They live together in an old family house. Their bond is blurred and they seem doomed to be joined, clinging, confined in an inbred routine. Stella's attempts at becoming independent have been weak and Clota hasn't done much to help her.
  One day Stella receives some news: her father, with whom she hasn't had communication for a long time, has died and left her two apartments in a desolate seaside town as inheritance.
  Stella decides to set out on a trip to discover that miracle which appears as the last possibility to finally become independent. But Clota perceives in it a chance to sell them and live well for a few years. Seeing no way out of it, Stella agrees to travel with her mother.
  At the end of the trip, Clota discovers Stella's real intention and perceives it as a surgical and terrifying separation. It's no longer an intuition but rather the confirmation of an idea.
  On the side of the road, in the middle of the night, mother and daughter have their last and brutal discussion, which precipitates the storm and emancipation.
