After working as a house cleaning lady all her life, Justina (60) inherits from her former employer a huge mansion in the middle of the Argentine countryside. Her only condition is that she never sell it.
As the house collapses and the farm animals are sold, Alexia, her daughter, prepares to return to the city. Justina, for now, plans to stay at the castle, clinging to her legacy.
