Hope.

ESPERANZA RANIERO (17) enjoys a vacation on the beach, after being proclaimed the U18 National Triathlon Champion. As she happily trains at sea, a momentary paralysis in her arm forces her brother and trainer, KIKE (27), to practice a rescue maneuvre on her.
Together with her father, who is a doctor, she begins a race of consultations between anguish and fears until the fateful diagnosis of ALS is confirmed.

A mixture of hope, denial and complicity marks the relationships among the young athlete's environment.

The father, alone, suffers and rejects the evidence of the medical tests until the last moment. The brother, unknowingly, turns to continuous rehabilitation attempts. The mother, sensing the problem, turns to religion to get a solution. And her sports team invents a gadget so that their team-mate can return to training.

Meanwhile, Esperanza knowingly, keeps her spirits high, and makes everyone believe that she is unaware of the diagnosis. A few months later, she passes away with a smile on her face.
