Plot

Elvira (Cecilia Suárez), a 40-year-old woman, is a stay-at-home mother with two children while her husband, Gustavo (Carlos Bardem), works at an insurance company to support the family. One night, Gustavo tells his wife that he is going for cigars and does not return.

Concerned about her husband, Elvira comes to seek him and files a missing person, because she believes that he suffered an accident. As time passes, she continues with her quest and begins to find reasons to suspect that her husband has escaped with his lover.
