Twenty-seven-year-old Cristóbal returns, camera in hand, to his native town of Chaitén, after it has been destroyed by a volcanic eruption. Searching for his childhood home, amidst ruins, he meets Ana, a strong-willed, middle-aged tobacconist whose sick elderly mother, María, refuses to leave town in order to seek treatment. As events unfold, this lonely trio forms an unlikely bond, banishing the solitude and blowing away the volcanic ash that surrounds them, to become the lost family for which Cristóbal had been searching
