Ignasi and María were destined to part from the beginning. When she arrives at a new school, everyone knows María's story: her mother is in a coma in hospital, after a brutal beating. But María won't let her dark past hold her back and soon she is at the centre of every circle. Her smiles and jokes make her shine in the group. Ignasi has been at the same school for years and if anything defines him it's his ability to go unnoticed. Nobody notices him apart from his two lifelong friends. Silence is his hiding place and he knows it well. That's why he is quick to realise that behind María's smiles and pleasantries, there is someone hiding a secret. When María and Ignasi's paths cross, their lives get complicated. And the thing is, if silence is what unites you, equilibrium is bound to be a casualty when the truth starts to come out.
