Ane is a married woman in her early 40s who is undergoing menopause. Her life takes a turn when she starts to receive bouquets of flowers at home anonymously, once a week. We are also shown Benet, a crane operator who works at Ane’s company. He remains calm even though he is faced with an uptight wife, Lourdes, and a nagging mother who does not like her. Things become more complicated when Benet has a car accident. Everyone’s lives become even more affected, with flowers playing a pivotal role in the story’s conclusion.
