Synopsis : 

Ricardo is on a yacht with his two daughters, Claudia and Teresita. As they cross the lake, a group of three men ask them for help from a half-sinking boat. Fearful, he ignores them.
When Teresita finds out, she complains along with his sister until they convince Ricardo to go back.
But when they return, there are only two of them left. One of the brothers has swum out to get help. Forced and with the whole group on board, Ricardo helps look for the missing boy all over the lake, more and more distrustful. While the day and the patience of the  group is ending, a war breaks out between Ricardo and his daughter Teresita, in a tense journey that will not end well.
