Bruno does not allow himself to feel pleasure and has a profound rejection towards his own sexuality. His nineteenth birthday is soon to come, but Martha, his mother, insists on not celebrating - choosing instead to honor her eldest son, Esteban, dead two years ago. The sudden comeback of Elisa, Bruno's first love, leads him to confront guilt and open himself to enjoy the pulse of life again. Barbara Ochoa Castaneda crafts a contemplative coming-of-age story that reveals the often misunderstood aftermath in a family after the death of a child, while creating a captivating character study of trying to rebuild bonds.
