Seven sisters meet for the funeral of one of them and at that meeting memories emerge, guilt and resentment that left wounds forever open. The sisters remember the first time they saw the sea, but also the tragedy that marked that day. They remember, mocking, the gestures of an abusive and frustrated father and an idealized mother.
