Plot
In an old house on the outskirts of Santiago a wake ceremony for Coya's husband has been prepared. Coya is the maid who has served the family for many years, and who is already considered part of her. For the effects of the ceremony they are waiting the arrival of Felipe, the only son of Coya, who has now transitioned and returned as Elena, a trans woman. This unexpected event will be more important than the wake itself and will completely upset the conservatism of the family, unleashing conflicts and frustrations that will reach Tete, the owner of the house, who also suffers because of her husband's infidelity.
