It's Easter in the beach house of a Chilean well-to-do and nowadays family. A self-centered and successful father, a disoriented mother and a son overshadowed by his successful father. The three of them, wait for the arrival of the son's first official girlfriend; a disturbing and rebellious young lady who will invade the house with her powerful sexual load and other "gifts", breaking loose an emotional cataclysm with no stepping back.
A house is reopened after having been left vacant for a long time. The window blinds are raised to reveal belongings left behind. Amidst the clutter three youths spend Christmas Eve together. They are lost, each in their own way. The holiday marks a certain absence, while a lingering camera traces the contours of disintegrating families, and the youths' unconstrained thoughts of love and life. (oslofilmfestival.com)
