Two identical houses accommodate two unequal families: the Guerra and the Salvador. The Guerra family breaks up when Joaquín abandons his wife Mónica and his three children. But that same day, Arturo and Teo Salvador, a father and his son who have lived alone since the death of their mother, arrive at the neighboring house. Thus begins a confrontation between two opposing paternity models: the tender and present father, against the one who renounces and forgets. But how and why do these families look for each other, or get lost, or find each other without knowing that they have been lost? An innocent prayer on the mountain will trigger danger, illusion, laughter, fear and the conquest of these boys alone in a forest of questions, violence, but also mercy.
