Therefore, when the young Antia reaches the age of majority, she decides to leave the family home, leaving her mother completely desperate and looking for explanations.
Julieta (Adriana Ugarte and Emma Suárez), the protagonist, will experience throughout her life, a road of no return, where fears and loneliness will be her companions.
