Roman (30 years-old) works digitizing photographs and negatives that he gathers from photo developing shops in the center of Santiago. Every day he manipulates images of unknown families. One day he receives a package that contains images of a man that looks like his father, whom he has only seen in a couple of pictures his mother has. Since that moment, Roman begins to look for clues in the pictures that might lead him to meet this man.
