After her parents separated, 16-year-old Eva no longer wanted to live with her mother. Eva's father Martín, adventurous and choleric, has been living on friends' sofas since the divorce, partying and writing poems. For Eva, he not only represents the alternative to maternal care, but also a welcome escape from the expectations of growing up and an inspiration to rebel. However, through her dogged closeness to Martín, Eva also discovers the ghosts that regularly haunt her father and those of her discovered more and more often in himself. Between childlike vulnerability and rebellion, Eva tries to find her place in the world.
