After Julian’s death, his wife Delia and daughter Anabel have to face life without him. Each takes her own path to overcome the loss of their loved one. Anabel is trying to get through the pain, cope with it and accept an irreplaceable loss. Delia, for her part, buries the tragedy by immersing herself in long hours at the wheel of her taxi, as if nothing had happened. One day, they receive a threatening letter informing them of their imminent eviction: they must leave the flat where they had lived with Julian.
