In the Peruvian Andes, two siblings are raised in isolation by their father, a Tablas de Sarhua painter who exchanges his art in the village for supplies, while his children wait for him, cared for by their dogs. One morning, Diógenes does not wake up. Sabina and Santiago live for three days with the corpse of their father, longing for him to open his eyes. After acknowledging his death, they will go in search of their past.[4]
