The story

Fourteen-year-old Lucía and her brother live with their mother after their parents’ divorce, and see their father Alberto only occasionally. Alberto, a chiropractor, rents a cabin at the Arapey Hot Springs in Salto, Uruguay for a brief vacation with the children. The weather threatens rain, and the outlook is bleak when they arrive. Hoping to compensate for the family outing’s disappointing start, Alberto tries to distract his children and make the trip enjoyable, but his efforts seem to make things less successful.
