The brothers Fernando and Juan , along with their wives and their three daughters, come to an old mansion in the field of deep Spain to visit their mother on the occasion of the hundredth birthday of this woman. Ana's family , old family governess, with her Argentine husband adds to the celebration. The only notable absence is that of José , the other son of the matriarch who died some years ago. All these await the death of the elderly woman to build a development that takes them out of poverty.
