SINOPSE

When rereading the letter that her grandmother, Maria Isabel Barreno, wrote to her when she was little, a woman reflects on the importance of self-expression in achieving individual freedom. ​In the places where she grew up and remembers her grandmother, the woman is led by various thoughts, dreams and memories, some positive, others negative, which make her want to find a ​mental space where she can express herself. She seeks her world so that, in freedom, she can reach the outside world, that of others.
