After the death of their mother, four sisters reunite to sell her apartment and share their inheritance. The conservative and repressed Selma is married to a rigid military man and misses her mother. She has just found out that her fifteen years old daughter is pregnant of a spiritual leader. The other three sisters are only interested in receiving their share: Regina is an independent woman that has brief love affairs; Lucia lives in Paris with her French husband and they run a butchery but her son hates her; Laura is lesbian and wants to move to Germany to present her thesis about smile. While together, revelations are disclosed and wounds are opened and closed by the sisters.
