Only hours before his death, Mauro revealed that he was leaving her for another woman.Paula guards this secret and ploughs on with her job as a paediatrician in Barcelona, trying to maintain the outline of their old life. But all of Mauro’s plants are dying, the fridge only contains expired yoghurt and her mind feverishly obsesses over this other, unknown woman.As the weeks pass, vitality returns to Paula in unexpected ways.
