Sandra, jobless and expecting the child of someone she doesn't love, has retreated to the Mediterranean coast so as not to make any decisions. Karin and Fredrik, a Norwegian pair in their eighties, adopt her almost as a granddaughter and pay her to help Karin. Julián, recently back from Argentina and once a prisoner in Mauthausen, has been following the couple. When he tells Sandra what he believes about their past, she starts reading their kindness differently, unaware of the risk she runs.
