Single mothers Janis (Cruz) and Ana (Milena Smit) meet after they both give birth on the same day in a Madrid maternity ward. Middle-aged professional photographer Janis decides to embrace motherhood alone after Arturo (Israel Elejalde), with whom she is having an affair, decides he is unable to support her.
