The film tells the story of Mary, 18 years old, who decides to find the father she has never met after her mother dies. As a child, this simple and sensible young woman acquired the strange habit of putting ladybugs in her mouth. Mary travels to a nearby village taking the few possessions she has, and a strange red dress her mother kept mysteriously hidden under her bed. Mary finds her father, Joaquin, living in an old dark house located in the middle of a sloppy banana plantation, which the locals say it is being occupied by ghosts. He lives there alone with a mysterious Haitian, called Montifá, as his only companion.
