    • Jesús and María are a couple whose relationship is not going through its best moment. After several years of trying, their first child has just been born. Maria is happy with her son despite the crisis in their marriage. However, Jesus, frustrated, with the feeling of not having any power of choice in the decisions of their lives, decides to buy the dining room table that his wife likes the least. That same morning, the father stays at home alone with his son for the first time and, while trying to calm the crying newborn, a catastrophe occurs: The child falls on the table, whose glass breaks, decapitating the baby. When his wife returns, he is unable to tell her and has to endure the meal with her brother knowing what just happened.
