About the film
Eight-year-old Mia shares an apparently ordinary morning with her little brother, Juan, filled with games and conversations. Before school, they stop at the park, where Juan tells her about a missing toy. Hours later, Mia returns and finds him with a stranger. Within seconds, the park is empty, leaving only his red bracelet behind. Eight years later, Mia returns to the same place, where closing her eyes seems the only way to return to a morning that should never have ended.
