Julieta is an unhappy middle-aged woman living in Madrid, regretful of her past and fearful for her future. By chance she meets Bea, a former friend of her daughter Antia who disappeared mysteriously some twelve years ago. Julieta learns that Antia is alive and well, and living in Switzerland with her three children. She cancels a planned move to Portugal, and stays at her old address in Madrid in the hope that Antia will contact her. There she broods on episodes in her past and the events leading up to her daughter’s disappearance. Much of the story is told in flash-back, with a different actress playing the part of the younger Julieta.
