Trailer
Synopsis
At a big house by the sea, Sara and her nanny Yarisa have forged a friendship so intense that it goes beyond their class differences – it is closer to a mother-daughter ralationship. While Sara finds in Yarisa the affectionate mother she never had, Yarisa also finds in Sara an opportunity to escape the financial dramas of her humble background. That fantasy becomes affected when Yarisa finds herself forced to deal with her past and when a rainy night and a muddy road invaded by goats trigger chaos.
