Synopsis

A hypnotic and sensitive tale about ancestry and letting go

Rosa is a successful businesswoman. The sudden death of her grandfather, the person who raised her, brings her back to the house where she grew up. Through a series of letters and clues, Rosa discovers that her grandfather has left her an important task to complete. By correcting her grandfather’s past mistakes, she gradually manages to find peace.Overwhelmed by her infernal work rhythm and drained by the lack of social relations, the stubborn Rosa echoes a world that goes too fast. Her return to her native village gives her a breath of fresh air and sets her on the path to fulfilment, against a background of investigation.
