- SYNOPSIS: Buenos Aires 2010. Héctor Kessler, a retired military doctor, lives his retirement by making homemade perfumes as a hobby. His two children, now independent, visit him frequently with the aim of pulling him out of his confinement. At the same time, Sofía Timmerman appears, a woman belonging to the so-called “grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo”, who start a new campaign to locate the children who were stolen during the military dictatorship of General Videla, in the late 1970s. Both stories intertwine and converge, drastically changing the lives of their protagonists. The past regains importance, and we will try to discover what is true and what is false in this small story of anonymous beings, but as real as the tragedy they themselves have endured.
