Luisa returns to her parents’ house when her father becomes bedridden. She’s expected to help her mother deal with the drudgery of caring for him, but their relationship is tense and the physical contact with the man proves to be unpleasant for her. Daydream-like reminiscences of her childhood become stranger and more confusing until her father dies. Luisa is then forced to face the fact that her father sexually abused her when she was little and the rest of the family kept their mouths closed about it.
