With no one to turn to, Remedios yearns for her family she lost several years ago because her husband Pablo wrongfully accused her of having an affair with another man.

As the Christmas season begins, her only dream is to embrace her children and reunite with her family. More so, Remedios is running out of time because she is suffering from senile dementia. She needs to show how much she cares for the people she loves and at the same time resolve family issues before her memory fails her completely.

Unknown to Remedios, after Pablo threw her out of the house, he decided to take away all the photos and personal belongings of his wife. He wanted his children to forget their mother even saying the name of Remedios was not permitted in the house.
