Andrés arrives at Natalia’s apartment to collect his old guitar, but the encounter quickly reopens wounds neither of them have truly faced. What begins as a simple errand unravels into a volatile reunion, where buried emotions erupt—resentment, longing, guilt—and the boundaries between love and pain begin to blur. The guitar becomes a trigger, pulling them into a confrontation that is both raw and revealing. Caught between the desire to hurt and the need to be understood, they spiral through moments of vulnerability, control, and unexpected humor, ultimately exposing the damage they’ve done to each other—and to themselves. In the end, they arrive at an unsettling moment of clarity—one that forces them to confront not just their shared history, but the truths they've been avoiding all along. Español:Andrés llega al departamento de Natalia para recuperar su antigua guitarra, pero el encuentro rápidamente reabre viejas heridas que ninguno de los dos ha querido encarar. Lo que comienza como un simple trámite se transforma en una reunión explosiva, donde las emociones reprimidas emergen con fuerza: rencor, anhelo, sentimiento de culpa; y la línea que separa el amor del dolor se vuelve borrosa. La guitarra se convierte en un catalizador, lanzándolos a una confrontación tan brutal como reveladora. Presos entre el impulso de lastimar y la necesidad de ser entendidos, caen en una espiral de vulnerabilidad, manipulación y destellos de humor inesperado, revelando el daño que se han infligido mutuamente, y a sí mismos. Finalmente, alcanzan un incómodo instante de lucidez, que los obliga a enfrentarse no solo a su pasado en común, sino también a las verdades que han estado eludiendo hasta ahora.
