About the film
Amelia knows how to fend for herself. Her life revolves around her grandchildren's visits and calls. Although she maintains an active routine, contact with others makes her uncomfortable, and she tends to see the negative side of things. But the arrival of Covid-19 confronts her with a new reality: the loneliness of isolation. Forced to open up to the outside world, Amelia will let Daniel, her neighbor, help her, and she will discover that a chain of favors can be forged even among strangers.
