📖 Synopsis
Sol, a seven-year-old girl, prepares a birthday party for her father, who is very ill, with her family. Lila Avilés observes the day with a camera at the girl's height, capturing the strange beauty of childhood when it still doesn't fully understand what it's about to lose. A Mexican film of extraordinary delicacy about how children process death through love and play.
