Icíar and Fernando are young. The two go through the most traumatic experience of their short lives: the loss of one of their parents. But Fernando and Icíar cannot share the pain or the strategies to manage it. They live in different times. Fernando in 1977 in Bilbao faces the kidnapping of his father by the terrorist organization ETA. In 2011, Icíar in Navarre faced the fulminant cancer of his mother.
