Directed by: Rafael Escolar
Genres: Drama
Starring: Magdalena Combes Tillard, Eva Bianco, Eduardo Rivetto

Overview: After separating from her husband after 30 years of marriage, Dalia's life seems to have slipped away. Immersed in alcohol, Dalia has no other hope than to surrender to time and let it burn out as quickly as possible. When everything seems to be coming to an end, Elsa, her housekeeper, decides to take her back to her village in the hope that a different kind of life will guide her destiny. From "nowhere," as Dalia perceives the place she's been taken to, she will have to decide between revenge, surrender, or starting over.
