About the film
Estel, an eight-year-old girl, lives with the void left by an absent father and the erratic behavior of an exhausted mother. With her bedroom as a sanctuary, her daily routine forces her to grow up too soon, and her drawings become a voice for everything she cannot express. One day, her fragile sense of balance is shattered when she receives a phone call from her father.
