It is summer, and 42-year-old Teresa moves to the countryside to care for Ani, her widowed mother, who has broken her leg. Trapped on the sofa in her pyjamas, Ani is completely dependent on her daughter, who immerses herself in the housekeeping chores. Even so, Ani always finds a reason to complain, from Teresa’s gazpacho to her decision not to have children.
Living with her mother after many years seems unbearable to Teresa, especially as she has had to cancel her vacation plans to visit a long-distance lover in New York. Ani tries to convince her to find a more accessible man and settle down before it is too late. Otherwise, childless, who will look after her when she too takes a fall in her old age? Teresa, however, has no intention of giving up her independence. They each understand life in their own way.
During the summer, they will have to accept each other’s decisions about how to live. Actually, they are exactly in the same position: living on their own and knowing that, in spite of everything, they can always enjoy a walk together – even though this summer Ani needs a wheelchair.
