Alba and Martín embark on a trip to the southeast of Spain. They make a stop at an isolated farmhouse in the middle of the desert, whose esplanade is full of furniture and objects for sale. As they silently observe these relics belonging to broken relationships, they perceive the nostalgia for a feeling already exhausted, whose last throes show them that their journey is a flight forward.
Writer and filmmaker Llorente’s homeland becomes the focus of a simmering drama played out amongst the beaches, squares and lush green mountains of this north-western province of Spain. The action follows Marta as she swaps her busy life in Madrid with boyfriend Leo for a trip back to her hometown for the summer. With naturalistic settings, minimal dialogue and lingering shots, the director highlights the contrast between real life and the carefree pace of the holidays. As the summer progresses, a relationship from her past causes confusion and she’s forced to choose between the innocence and freedom of her youth and the grown-up world with all its routines and responsibilities.
