He, a promising chef, retreats to his stoves; she, in her silence, begins to feel something more than sadness: she has lost her appetite… and not just because of heartbreak.

Felipe has a dream: he is on stage acting with passion while his mother, grandmother and late father watch him enthusiastically from the audience. When he wakes up, reality catches up with him again. He spends the day cycling with his friends, with whom he is also part of a theatre group, and at night he writes his own plays. However, he hides from his mother that he is taking acting classes, as in Mara’s reality there is no room for such dreams and she dislikes the theatre. When Felipe is invited to an audition and is confronted with family secrets and deceit, the lines between dream and reality, truth and lies, and fiction and real life become increasingly blurred.
Years later, director Carla Valencia Dávila rediscovers the videos of a cycling trip she took through Uruguay in her youth. The views of winding roads, deserted hotels and unexpected encounters make one reflect. It feels as if someone else recorded them.

He re-edits the video into a road movie that travels through his own memory, finds annotations in his diary to accompany the shots and supplements them with home movies, found footage and Super-8 reels. The wind becomes a recurring motif, present in almost all of his videos.
