Marga (Emma Suárez), a successful architect, returns home after spending two months in a rehabilitation center due to an addiction problem which her family has lived with in silence for years. After her arrival, Marga will try to retake her previous life while her youngest daughter Blanca (Natalia de Molina), will see how the attention she turns on her mother affects both her relationships and her dream of being a professional dancer. A year later, "the elephant" remains in the room as huge as ever. At least now, everyone can see it.
