It's 2017, and Gervasio finds himself trapped in a seemingly endless after-party. The New Year has brought with it a series of celebrations where lines, pills, and alcohol have become his only reality. Everything is euphoria and oblivion, until the bubble bursts when unexpected news hits him: his mother has suffered a heart attack and is in critical condition. Guilt and helplessness consume him. Trying to muster the courage to go to the hospital, his clouded mind prevents him from taking the step. Ashamed of his condition, Gervasio ends up retreating into his personal abyss, seeking an escape that only sinks him deeper and deeper. Three days of denial will lead him to relive fragments of his life, especially one: his participation in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. There, beneath the Olympic atmosphere and the love of his family, Gervasio was a very different person. The athlete he once was, full of ambition and energy, seems a broken reflection compared to the destroyed man he is today.
