An older couple is waiting for a visit from their daughter and grandson. It is winter in the Chilean countryside, yet there is a lot of work to be done. He cleans the ditch; she sells home-made cheese. After a long day it starts raining again. They sit in silence by the open hearth, waiting for the rain to stop.

In the days leading up to Christmas, a man travels from the city to the country to spend the day with his mother. Once they are together they talk about their daily lives, he helps her repair the motor pump and she does some laundry for him. Then he takes a nap and she feeds the chickens. A journey and a brief moment of intimacy between a mother and child.
