Storyline

This movie is talking about the loneliness and fragility of life. Its three main characters are lonely, as lonely and fragile as you and me. This film tells that it is not necessarily big events that make you feel your life is cracking; too often, a small and irrelevant detail may trigger a crisis that will shatter our safe world and turn it upside down.  Three characters on the verge of breakdown. Three characters that are living in a cold world like ours, where communication with people is becoming more and more difficult, where it is so much easier to hate than to love, where there is no respect for life and where success is measured in money. Everything leads to our fragility and vulnerability. And when we are unhappy any little thing can make us fall into a chasm of darkness. This is exactly what happens to Mila, Celso and Valeria and the three of them will have to find a new way of living.
