It tells the story of Amador Coro, who has recently been released from prison after a conviction for arson – he had started a fire in the thick forests that cover the local mountains. Returning to live with his mother Benedicta in her farm house, he lives an uneventful life, tending his mother's cows and avoiding unnecessary contact with other people. However, when a large forest fire devastates the area, tensions against him appear due to his arson conviction.
