Synopsis

Luisa, her husband Emilio, and their teenage daughter Ana, are spending their New Year holiday visiting Emilio’s mother and family at their country house. During what was hoped to be a peaceful summer family vacation, multiple tensions and pressures will gradually simmer and eventually explode.

Our take

On the eve of a new year, a fractured family comes together to celebrate on the verdant grounds of their ancestral country home. Domestic fireworks are soon ignited in Paula Hernández gently ticking time-bomb of a drama, which intimately captures family rifts amid the rising, suffocating heat.
