Diego lives with his father in a house without things, without furniture, without anything. One day he finds a chair deep in the woods and the desire of possession arises. Diego takes the chair back home but the father disagrees and orders him to return it. At night, the father recognizes the boy’s feeling of dearth and allows Diego to bring the chair again. Diego returns to the forest but something has happened, something really big. He can’t bring the chair this time.
