Isabel (63) takes us through a claustrophobic journey that begins with the promise she made to her mother on her deathbed. This is an intimate and self-sacrificing father-daughter relationship that has led our protagonist to confine herself for more than ten years, isolating herself and postponing her own existence for the well-being of Jorge (97), her father.

Esta es una íntima y abnegada relación padre e hija que ha llevado a nuestra protagonista a un autoencierro desde hace más de diez años, aislandose y postergando su propia existencia en función del bienestar de Jorge (97) su padre.
