Manuela (Cecilia Roth) is a woman whose world is in tragedy. One night a car runs over her son teenage Esteban (Eloy Azorin). That same night, while waiting in the hospital, she reads the last lines written by her son in a notebook that he always kept by his side. In it, Esteban writes of finding a box of photographs where all have been cut in half. Esteban realizes that the person cut out of the photos is his father, whom his mother always told him died before he was born. Knowing this was not the truth; Esteban wanted to find his father but was tragically killed before he could do so. So in an effort to memorialize her son, Manuela leaves Madrid with the help of a nun Hermana Rosa (Penelope Cruz) and goes to Barcelona in search of Esteban' father, Lola (Toni Canto) to tell him that their son's last written words were directed to him. The search for a man with that name cannot be simple. And indeed Manuela finds that it isn’t.
