Summary: From case cover: Isabel descubre que su marido, Cholo, al que creía muerto hacía más de veinte años, aún vive en un pequeño pueblo de la costa. Hacia allí viaja con sus hijas, Sonia y Beba para reencontrarse con él. Sonia es hija de Cholo pero nunca conoció a su padre. Por su parte, Isabel, se enfrenta al descubrimiento de un cáncer que puede terminar con su vida y eso es lo que la empuja a buscar a su antiguo gran amor. Cholo se ha convertido en el panadero del pueblo y vive tranquilo compartiendo salidas con algunos biejos amigo. La llegada de Isabel y sus hijas al pueblo lo perturba. Cholo se niega a recordar el pasado doloroso que lo ha obligado, víctima de la dictadura militar, a autoexiliarse en ese pueblo perdido. Las tres mujeres se familiarizan con los habitantes del pueblo a la par que se ven obligadas a enfrentarse con sus propios miedos y los miedos de Cholo que, sólo tras mucho esfuerzo, se convence de que únicamente asumiendo el pasado podrá recomenzar nuevamente su vida junto a Isabel y su hija.
