    Original language: Basque

    Arriving home after giving birth to her only child, 35-year-old Amaia (Laia Costa, Veronica), wants nothing more than to rest, nurse baby Jone and eat sushi. Attended by her frequently-absent partner Javier (Mikel Bustamante), doting father Koldo (Ramón Barea) and no-nonsense mother Begoña (Susi Sánchez, Julieta, The Skin I Live In), Amaia quickly becomes acquainted with the intense and unending stresses of new parenthood. With emotions heightened, nerves frayed and the young couple at each other's throats, Javier takes yet another job that will take him away for an extended period, forcing Amaia to find the help she needs and move in with her parents. As three generations settle in and Amaia senses her previous life is slipping away, she comes to the quiet realization that her parents themselves are barely holding things together, their sharp points continually piercing one another -- and uncovering a secret her mother has long kept buried. But when the family dynamic is forever changed after Begoña has a medical emergency, in an instant becoming as helpless as her own granddaughter, Amaia slowly comes to realize all the ways in which her parents' condition mirrors her own, coming to earn a hard-won empathy that comes with not only learning to love a difficult person but embracing a deeply imperfect family.
