Lois is a young man who studies in Boston and lives with a mother who never quite recognises him as her son. His grandmother, Mati, decides to call him and encourage him to return to Galicia and relieve him of his feelings of unease. In order to achieve this, she invents an illness and creates a kind of association with her friends to save society from inaction. And so she thinks she will be able to shake things up. The narrator uses irony to recount this women’s movement. Lois wakes up reluctantly and enters into a romantic relationship with his childhood friend. He starts to embark on his journey back, but he knows that everything comes to an end. A sudden unexpected surprise from life, something from the past, means he has to stay and that his mother also returns to Galicia. From this new perspective, all the characters have to reassess their identities and desire to connect. Nature plays a very important part in this reconnection.
