In this intimate and moving film, you follow a family who travels, without the father, to the birth village of mother Ane in Basque Country. They come for a baptism, but Ane also hopes to resume her artistic career in the studio of her deceased father. At the same time, her 8-year-old child, who is called Cocó, has doubts about how they feel. There is no masculine or feminine gender in Basque, which suits Cocó just fine. The eight-year-old shares their doubts their mother, grandmother and friends, but not everyone knows how to deal with this. How can a mother deal with the search for her child’s identity when she still has to deal with her own ambivalent upbringing?
