Marga (Emma Suárez), a pregnant and widowed woman, is going through a streak of bad luck. Via her friendship with Rosa (Marta Ibarra), she begins to rebuild her confidence, but faces difficulties. After beginning a relationship with Iñaqui (Juan Diego Botto), an attractive gay sculptor who is ten years younger than her, her life begins to improve.
