A portrait of four young people from a small village in southern Spain, where modernity coexists with traditions whose origins are lost in the mists of time. A research on the relationship between the animal and the human.

Spoiler-safe reference guide to pull up while you watch.
In this small village in Extremadura, population has been declining since the 1960s, driven away by unemployment. Alberto Martín Menacho returns to this region he knows intimately, and together with local youths, spins stories in a reality suspended between tradition and modernity, human and animal, between a thousand-year-old oak tree and Tinder. A strikingly graceful debut film.
