Alejandra believes she understands her marriage until a sudden death reveals an entire life her husband kept apart from her. Seeking answers brings her to Verónica, the woman at the center of that hidden world. What begins as an attempt to understand a betrayal becomes a connection neither woman can fully control. Their attraction complicates grief and forces both to reconsider the stories they have told about love. Set between Valencia and the surrounding wetlands, the Spanish drama builds its mystery around an increasingly intimate relationship between two women whose lives have already been joined by secrets, and who must decide what they can create for themselves.
