Shelter

Returning to the place where she left happily always implies a risk –or several– and Justina seems to sense this as soon as she arrives at the small Patagonian town of Puerto Pirámides. Coming back means once again seeing her family, her friends, the landscape that saw her grow up, and facing the legacy of her mother, who died recently, and an old summer romance, Patricio, whom she has not seen for a long time and who is about to get married. Caught between a past that she is not yet ready to leave behind, a present that she does not seem completely convinced about, and a future that is still uncertain, for Justina, coming back may also mean discovering who she is and who she wants to be.
