Elena searches for the person responsible for the sudden death of her daughter, Rita. Not being able to obtain answers that help her understand what happened, she herself is the one who embodies the investigation. Despite the progress of Parkinson's disease that she suffers from, she undertakes a train trip from the suburbs to the Capital, seeking the help of an old friend of her daughter's. Her inevitable memories of her mother will confront her with an unexpected revelation from her.
"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."
