Norma's mother just died, leaving her alone and stranded in their small and isolated house in the mountains. Not knowing what do with her corpse, she ignores the situation childishly. When a neighbor finds out, she escapes and embarks on a journey following the tracks of her unknown father. But does he really exist? Or is the journey all part of a psychotic delusion?
This is a short film about Norma, a young woman still coming of age, who is completely alone in the world. She has lived a secluded life with her mother, away from everything and everybody. When her mother dies, she doesn't know what to do with her body and just leaves her there. Her new found solitude and freedom sparks off her curiosity towards men, and her idea of a father, specifically. But this idea evolves into a delusion, making her embark on a journey to finally come to terms with a father that was never there, and now returns as a hallucination.
