A rainy morning with birds that soil the streets, a girl at fifteen slips and falls off of the motocycle. A fast ambulance to the hospital. The same where her father works as a surgeon. Freezed of ansia Timoteo who has been considered a respectable professionalist, a good husband and father for years, now shows his other side - selfish and violent. In the silence that surrounds him he talks to his daughter and to himself and reveals a painful secret that seemes to have faded in time. With the preciseness of a surgeon he uncovers the imbalance of his life and his heart in a journey within the inner sides of a loving passion that has dragged him away from his real identity.
