Allegra Films

A story about a small, dying town in need of hope until one day a young boy gives them something to believe in.

The portrait of Francisco, a simple man born in Andalusia, who returns to his village every winter. However, this time he will have to face the emptiness of the family home, which remains untouched since the last day anyone lived there. This situation will force him to revisit the emotions he had put aside all this time, trying to find a reconciliation between the village he had imagined and the village he has found.

63-year-old Dolores—a teacher, a wife and mother—has always lived up to expectations. Her life in Barcelona is stable but suffocating: a dull marriage, a grown son about to make her a grandmother, and yet another Christmas far from her hometown. On Christmas Eve, something snaps. After feeling provoked, she assaults a man in public — an impulsive, violent act that seems completely out of character. Suddenly she’s thrust into a hostile system that puts her sanity and womanhood on trial. The world says she’s lost control, but something deeper has been set in motion.

Marta, determined to document the daily life of an elderly person who lives alone, moves together with a film crew to her great-aunt Facunda’s house in La Solana, a town in La Mancha. However, Facunda has a mission: the relentless boycott of the film.
