Celia doesn't want to celebrate her birthday. She is at that stage of life when it is better to think about other things. Her friends try to cheer her up with a strange gift.
Synopsis
Celia (Luz Valdenebro) is 44 years old, and she doesn't want to celebrate it, as doing so requires acknowledging she's reached that age without a partner or children. She has invited her friends to dinner at her house, but she has told them that it is not a birthday party. Instead, she says it's a Christmas dinner where she will offer them her famous eggnog for dessert, a recipe she learned when she lived in New York. The friends don't keep thir part of the deal and show up for the date with a strange birthday gift that will provoke a debate about motherhood and lead to an unexpected ending.
