Buenos Aires at the end of summer. Marina, Sofia and Violeta are alone in the family home after their grandmother, who had brought them up, has died. They have to come to terms with her death, each in her own way. Marina concentrates on her studies while looking after the household, whereas Sofia becomes obsessed by her appearance and goes out with friends. As for Violeta, she wanders around between bedroom and sitting room where, from time to time, she receives an older man. Discord, laughter, meanness, gestures of affection determine the rhythm of this period of uncertainty, until one day in autumn Violeta disappears without warning.

Buenos Aires, fine estate. Marina, Sofia e Violeta, dopo la morte della nonna, presso la quale sono cresciute, vivono da sole nella casa dei genitori. Ognuna di loro cerca di superare il dolore e convivere con la sua scomparsa a modo proprio: Marina si dedica agli studi e cerca anche di conservare integra la convivenza domestica, Sofia si concentra sulla sua apparenza estetica e sulle cose materiali, mentre Violeta si muove tra la camera e il salone e di tanto in tanto riceve un uomo di una certa età. Dissidi e gioie, litigi e dimostrazioni d’amore segnano questo tempo di transizione e d’insicurezza – finché in un giorno d’autunno Violeta scompare improvvisamente.
