Synopsis

After being in a relationship for a long time, Clara (35) and Alejandro (38) decide to move in together. In the middle of the moving process, he travels to a conference.
Alejandro's absence, her work routine, the new house, the still unpacked objects, the relationship with her new neighbors, produce a state of boredom in Clara that drives her into accepting odd company, dinners and beers, and even taking up tai chi sessions that drag her, into a spiritual retreat. She is thus immersed in a world that has little to do with her old life: the new building, the peculiar group that participates in the retreat, the incursions into nature, the hilly landscape, the appearance of Martín, a cetacean expert who will catch a very special essence in Clara. In the meantime, Alejandro phones her constantly to tell her about his success at the conference and obsessed with planning and organizing the items they've moved. Clara pretends everything is the same, hiding behind the activities she takes up and the people she meets. While she lies to Alejandro, all these facts spark and provoke something in her: Clara will not be able to ignore that things are no longer where they used to be.
