Un perro vagabundea por un pueblo del sur de España. Está lastimado y famelico. Camila se encuentra igual de perdida y dañada que el. Es argentina, tiene treinta y ocho años y acaba de abandonar su ciudad de origen, familia, trabajo, amigos y medicación psiquiátrica. Su huida la lleva a refugiarse en el pueblo andaluz donde se cruzará con el perro. Aunque a ella no le gustan los animales, decide ayudarlo: el perro tiene una herida infectada que requiere de cuidados y reposo. No sabemos que fantasmas acompañan a Camila en su nueva vida en España, lo que sí sabemos es que no le permitirán establecer vínculos afectivos con las personas que allí encuentra. Solo la necesidad de ayuda del perro parece hacer mella en la coraza que trae de Buenos Aires. Esta es tambien la historia del perro, contada desde su perspectiva. Sentiremos su hambre, su soledad, su anhelo de calor humano. Y lo mejor: a traves de el disfrutaremos de las cosas más sencillas, aquellas por las que merece la pena vivir.
A dog wanders through a village in southern Spain. He is hurt and starving. Camila is just as lost and damaged as he is. She is Argentine, thirty-eight years old and has just left her hometown, family, work, friends and psychiatric medication. Her escape leads her to take refuge in the Andalusian village where she will cross paths with the dog. Although she does not like animals, she decides to help him: the dog has an infected wound that requires care and rest. We do not know what ghosts accompany Camila in her new life in Spain, what we do know is that they will not allow her to establish emotional bonds with the people she meets there. Only the dog's need for help seems to make a dent in the armor he brings from Buenos Aires. This is also the story of the dog, told from his perspective. We will feel their hunger, their loneliness, their longing for human warmth. And the best part: through it we will enjoy the simplest things, those that are worth living for.
