Over the past year, Selva has lost her parents. After the funeral, a series of physical symptoms prevent her from returning to normal.

However, when she returns to her childhood landscape, the symptoms worsen. Selva is diagnosed with early menopause, and without any references, she embarks on a mysterious phase that transforms her in unimaginable ways, synchronising with the polluted and overexploited nature.
