Alfonso is an old farmer who has returned home to tend to his son, who is gravely ill. He rediscovers his old house, where the woman who was once his wife still lives, with his daughter-in-law and grandson. The landscape that awaits him resembles a wasteland. Vast sugar cane plantations surround the house, producing perpetual clouds of ash. 17 years after abandoning them, Alfonso tries to fit back in and save his family.
Alfonso est un vieux paysan qui revient au pays pour se porter au chevet de son fils malade. Il retrouve son ancienne maison, où vivent encore celle qui fut sa femme, sa belle-fille et son petit-fils. Il découvre un paysage apocalyptique : le foyer est cerné par d'immenses plantations de cannes à sucre dont l’exploitation provoque une pluie de cendres continue. 17 ans après avoir abandonné les siens, Alfonso va tenter de retrouver sa place et de sauver sa famille.
