Eleven-year-old Diego is forced to spend three months with his grandfather Francisco, who lives in a small farm in the Venezuelan Andes.

When Moishe Tartavosky, the exuberant patriarch of a Mexico City family, dies of a heart attack in the middle of a raucous mariachi party, he leaves behind a large and complicated web of secrets and relationships that must be untangled over the course of his seven-day shivah (the prescribed mourning period in Jewish custom).
