The story focuses on Alex, a teenager living in a coastal area of Uruguay. Since her birth, Alex has been the center of attention in her family due to her intersex condition, which creates various tensions in her home and surroundings. Her mother, a protective and determined woman, has tried to raise her in an environment of acceptance, while her father struggles with his own insecurities and expectations regarding his daughter's identity.

When the family decides to consult a specialist doctor, the situation becomes complicated with the arrival of a neighboring family consisting of a young man named Álvaro and his father. As the boys begin to get to know each other, confusing and complicated emotions arise. Alex feels attracted to Álvaro but also fears the repercussions of her complex identity. The discovery of her sexuality and doubts about her body turn into a journey filled with self-discovery and anguish.

Throughout this emotional journey, Alex must confront her fears, defining who she truly is and how she fits into a world that often feels rigid and intolerant. This film highlights the struggle for acceptance and love in a context where gender and sexuality norms are tested, exploring the pain and beauty of finding a place in the world. Through Alex's honest perspective, the depths of the search for identity and the human desire for belonging are revealed.
