synopis

On a summer vacation at her grandparents’ house in Mallorca, teenage Cata spends her days playing tricks on her little sister Eva, annoying her grandmother, conspiring with her grandfather, and flirting with boys. This lazy holiday routine comes to a halt one night when she discovers her Grandma’s dead body. The girls’ mom arrives to help, but the role of caretaker she assumes is unwelcome.
Time stops in this house that, strangely, already felt stuck in time. Unable to process her grief, Cata turns to her grandmother’s belongings. Suddenly, objects and clothes she’d never seen now mean something to her, giving her purpose. She begins playing dressup with her grandfather, who is unable and unwilling to move on from this shocking loss.
Cata takes on a new role at home, or rather, this new role takes over Cata.
