Noelia, a 40-year-old Puerto Rican artist, discovers her cancer has metastasized after spending several years in remission. Despite the insistence of her partner, she refuses to continue her treatment and decides to return to Vieques, the small Caribbean island east of Puerto Rico where she grew up and where her mother lives. Once there, she keeps her cancer a secret and throws herself into the work she had dedicated herself to years before: denouncing the contamination left by the U.S. Navy after years of military exercises on the island.
