Upon moving from Montevideo to Barcelona, Maximiliano hears his father say "I love you" for the first time in thirty years. That moment ignites a quest to understand who this man is and what place he holds in his life. For years, he films him in Uruguay, until traces of a past of violence toward his mother surface. The film becomes a confrontation with silence, fear, and the limits of memory. Tennis, their only shared language, opens a space for connection. When his father travels to Barcelona, the dynamic shifts, and both attempt to build a new bond without forgetting the past.
