Synopsis

Pep died at the age of four months, unable to recover from the final and definitive intervention on his heart. During all this time in the ICU, Ignasi saw how Agata was always able to remain strong and hopeful while at her son's side. Ignasi was very aware of his mother, who years earlier had suffered the death of a son. But unlike Agata, she was deeply affected and had been unable to fully get over it. Seven years have passed and Ignasi has finally decided to ask the hospital for Pep's medical records. He wants to understand exactly what was going on around him while he and Agata cared for him in the ICU. So he sets out on an emotional journey in which he visits doctors, nurses and the parents of some of the children with whom they coincided in the ICU.
