"Elene (Mercedes Morán) searches for the person responsible for her daughter Rita's sudden death. Unable to get answers that help her understand what happened, she takes on the investigation herself. Despite the progression of the Parkinson's disease she suffers from, she embarks on a train journey from the suburb to the capital, seeking help from an old friend of her daughter. This is where filmmaker Anahí Berneri (Alanis) makes room for Morán (Neruda) to have a true tour de force on screen, embracing the film for herself—a challenging responsibility that works. It's a drama with touches of a thriller that leaves nothing behind and, in the end, succeeds in bringing emotion and suspense in good measures."
