“There’ll be a flash in the village, a really mighty, mighty one and everything will change...”, Isa uses a cassette recorder to record messages to herself for when she disappears or loses her memory. Cita feels trapped in a marriage in a house full of saints and virgins. María returns to the town where she was born to face her loneliness. The women of a small rural town, suspended in time and whipped by depopulation, live between the apathy of their daily life where nothing extraordinary happens and a deep desire for liberating experiences.
