The film talks about the pain hidden in the corners of the soul and the psychological breakdowns that accumulate day after day, fold upon fold, forming a heavy weight on the heart. They are small details related to the partner sometimes and to work and life circumstances other times, so a person becomes in need of confiding in order to purify his heart and soul and hear some of his groans for the one who is supposed to be his warm embrace, like a child who takes refuge in the arms of his parents after they had abused or become angry with him. Confession is a highly sincere emotional state and its whisper is like a stifled, choked scream. It is a film that talks about the simple cracks that, when they increase, threaten the relationship with the partner and warn of its collapse. It is a social film that moves between the depths of hearts, shedding light on those pains hidden within each of us.
