In 1941, in a city in provincial Argentina, a girl confesses to her priest the first uncertain sexual impulses she feels for Videla, a young man who passes beneath her window each day. In 1977, a cadre of revolutionaries plans an attack on Videla, now no longer young, and known to everyone. And in a nursing home, that young girl, now an old woman, plays a game of cards with her grandson. Between moves she tells him what happened to her son, the boy's father, in what turns out to be a new confession. Across decades and landscapes, this legacy of love and guilt plays out in one family and against the background of dictatorship's traumas.
