The bridge connecting the world of the living to the world of the dead has been damaged. As a result, news of her death is delayed to Maria. She leaves the house, on the way she meets people who pass by her indifferently, barely noticing her. Strangers, on the other hand, do not want to see her at all. Maria returns to her Mother, the home she has rid herself of from her life. Her body has already been brought in. Traditional ceremonies begin. The catcher prepares the body before burial. The family tries to get Maria to see the body and identify herself. This is a necessary condition for Maria to come to terms with the fact that she is dead. Coming to terms with this fact is supposed to bring her and her relatives relief, but Maria rebels. Death is not accepted by her.
