Argentine journalist Clara Guinzburg returns to Spain to interview Nora Rizzo, an internationally successful writer, although her journey is overshadowed by the discovery of a family secret that is the perfect script for the novel she dreams of writing.
Her mother, who died 30 years ago when she was barely three years old, left an enigmatic folder that the journalist discovers by chance where she had lived as a child: In the summer of 1988 her mother had a romantic relationship with a man who would end her daughter’s life before committing suicide. Clara is not only surprised by this revelation, but also that her mother died shortly after that crime in the same Valencian town where that tragedy happened.
Clara Guinzburg wants to fit the puzzle of an unknown past and, at the same time, write her first novel. However, his attempt to reveal that enigma will open Pandora’s box: someone is not willing to return that past with all its silences.
