Sinopsis

Comedia agridulce que gira en torno a un funeral. Durante los tres días de duelo que marca la tradición marroquí, la familia se reúne en la villa de vacaciones del difunto para compartir sus recuerdos y el dolor de la pérdida de su querido padre y marido. Es verano, pero la playa está prohibida y los trajes de baño son sustituidos por chila- bas, mientras la señora de la casa hace un despliegue de pena y angustia. La llegada de la hija más joven, Sofía, hará que salten chispas. Viejos secretos salen a la luz, convirtiendo en confusión el orden siempre mantenido por el patriarca. Entre risas y lágrimas, una especie de histeria colectiva llevará a cada una de las mujeres a afrontar algunas verdades sobre su hogar.
