The real estate boom is making a lot of people rich. But Tato, a charismatic and immature fifty-year-old, has lost everything. He has returned to live with his eccentric mother, Rosa, who humiliates him every chance she gets in the hope of keeping him inside her decrepit mansion. Desperate for financial independence, Tato sells the house without his mother's consent. To make her believe that she still lives inside her old room, Tato places her in a vaguely similar space, covered with plastic curtains to create the illusion that the house is being restored for its historical value. How long and at what price will Tato be able to maintain this impossible farce?
