Laura spent her childhood in an orphanage, where she was growing up surrounded by caring tutors. Now, being a 30-year-old woman, she returns to her former “home”, together with her husband Carlos and a 7-year-old son, Simon. She dreams about re-opening the now-defunct orphanage and creating a centre for handicapped children. Simon is very stimulated by the building and its mysterious vicinity ― he starts to come up with unreal stories and games that are not as innocent, as they seem to be at first glance... Laura is now convinced that there is a terrible thing lurking in the walls of the old house...
