Thirteen-year old Estela lives in Purmamarca, a picturesque and isolated village in Northwestern Argentina. She establishes a very tender and pure relationship with Carlos, an architect hired to build a housing development. Ana – Carlos’ ex-wife – arrives in Purmamarca with the intention of saving her marriage. A delicate situation ensues, with the adults trying to protect the young girl’s feelings, while their own relationship is still at stake. Finally, Carlos and Ana leave town. Nothing will ever be the same for Estela in beautiful Purmamarca. She has lost two friends, from a very different world, but, above all, she has lost her childhood.
