Summary: Nominated for two Goya Awards, this entertaining story begins during the final days of the regime of General Francisco Franco. The lives of both father and son change dramatically when they abandon their normal lives for the gypsy life on the road making their home base in a small town in the interior of Spain. There, a beautiful girl catches their eye, awakening them and submerging them in a story full of drama and laugh out loud situations that ultimately reveal the complexity of both their personalities by making them reflect on themselves.
