Near the suburban highway stands a water tower, and behind its fence live a mechanic, his wife, and their adopted son, who is disabled. One day, a family from the capital becomes guests in their modest home—their car broke down on the road. This sudden clash between "city and country" will be a serious test for the young hero of the film. And not only for him.
