Escondites (Cachettes) tells the story of Haydée, a Latin American immigrant in Montreal. After thirty years of work in her adopted city, she, a dynamic woman, is retiring. She has three children and two ex-husbands. With all the time in the world ahead of her, anxiety suddenly sets in. She wonders if it isn't time to return to her native country, which throws her entire family into a tailspin.
