Synopsis
Martin and his family move from Mexico City to an isolated rural area where they seek to begin anew. The community is small but bonds are formed and kindness is displayed by neighbors who know that survival depends on kinship and small acts of humanity. The family's one luxury is a wardrobe that hides a multitude of secrets in the concrete shack where they live.
