A middle-aged couple, housemaid Dolores and her gardener Ambo, is hired to take care of a large, opulent house while its owners are away on vacation. This old, disconnected couple finds themselves inhabiting a space far removed from their normal reality, surrounded by a life beyond their reach. Weeks of tedium go by until one day, Dolores has a small accident. The seemingly insignificant event quickly snowballs into a series of discoveries within herself, and her relationship with her husband.

It accomplished more by trying not to do too much. Probably good for many people who looking back would realize they could have enjoyed life a lot more than they did. Lives of lost opportunities. Here one woman found a way with a whiff of perfume, to break through and took her husband with her, for a brief, poetic moment, like the flickering light so beautifully captured by the cinematographer in this little film.
