In her directorial debut, Costa Rican director Alexandra Latishev Salazar paints a powerful portrait of a lost young woman in search of meaning.

María Josés life moves back and forth between the monotony of classes, her eternally distant parents, rugby training, and wild nights with her friend, Carlos. Emotionally disconnected from her environment,she meets Javier, with whom she struggles to build a relationship. Through it all, she tries to live a normal life while carrying a secret no one wants to acknowledge.
