Plot Ane is a construction supervisor in her early forties who is frustrated with her life after entering menopause. One day, she starts to receive bouquets of flowers at home anonymously, once a week. While she is uplifted by the deliveries, this causes tension with her husband Ander. While searching for her wedding chain at a construction site, she is watched by the crane operator, Beñat, who keeps the chain inside his compartment, revealing him to be the anonymous flower-sender.
