Miguel, a landscape architect, travels to Belgium with his girlfriend Marta to attend a conference. There, his relationship comes to an abrupt end, and after breaking up with his partner, he decides to stay on alone for a few more days to try to figure out his future. Broken and confused, Miguel meets Olga, a woman who works as a volunteer at the architecture conference. With her by his side, he will begin to rebuild himself and understand his new life project.
