Brief synopsis

The misfortune of dementia locked Clara in the role of her mother's informal caregiver. Imbued with the spirit of a mission, Clara seems to sink into a grudge, poisoned by her brother Victor's lack of support.

For several months without any news, the favorite son had disappeared after being prevented by his sister from selling the family heirloom. A Mozambican sculpture by inestimable value for the old lady and brought from Africa in the troubled period of decolonization.

The piece remains in the house, watching over the neurotic instability that plagues Clara in the face of her brother's imminent return. Until the day a visit with reminiscences of the past, capable of changing forever the life in which Clara thought she was imprisoned, knocks on the door.
