Irene is raising four rambunctious sons in a home that is physically crumbling but warm and happy. As Irene simultaneously shelters her sister Sonia (who just left a volatile marriage), supports her own husband through a financial crisis, and plans her own long-awaited high school graduation, Irene’s eldest son, Fernando, suddenly announces he has been recruited by a professional handball team in Germany and will be leaving in just three weeks. Consummate caretaker Irene prickles at the idea of emancipating the 16-year-old so he can travel and live alone, and she becomes increasingly anxious about what her future holds.

A realistic, naturally flowing story about the joys and struggles of family life, with the focal point being the unique Irena, portrayed in a disarming manner by Karine Teles. The music plays an unmistakable role here, though there is not much of it, but it permeates the end of the film all the more significantly. (75%)
