On a winter’s day, Nena brings her family together to celebrate her birthday.

And then there is Paco, Alma’s peacock. While waiting for a lunch that will never arrive, Paco falls in love with a little dove in a painting. An impossible love that shakes the whole family: everybody is pushed to reflect on their true feelings, on what remains and what is gone forever.
