Maria and Verónica, two Spanish women from different generations living in France, share a hospital room. This vital and generational crossroads of exchange transforms the way each of them experiences life. Against all expectations, the younger woman dies, and when no one comes to claim her body, Maria decides to take her ashes to Spain in search of her family. There, she meets a very unusual man, a motorcyclist from Eastern Europe, who awakens within her a long-suppressed sensual desire and a renewed appetite for life, one she seems to have inherited from Verónica.
