Rosa’s life has lost all meaning and purpose after her husband Joaquin’s death; she spends her days alone, talking to his “ghost.” Her solitude is disrupted when she discovers 18-year-old Jó asleep on the rooftop of her building. Jó has been kicked out of his house by his alcoholic father and has nowhere else to go. Rosa takes him under her wing, raising eyebrows among her family and his friends.
