Toni, a 15-year-old boy, lives in the largest irregular settlement in Europe, on the outskirts of Madrid. Proud of belonging to his family of scrap dealers, he follows his grandfather everywhere. But the demolitions are approaching his plot and his grandfather refuses to leave, whatever the sacrifice.
On dark nights without electricity, as the legends of his childhood come to life, Toni must choose: face an uncertain future or cling to a vanishing world.
Developed at Cinéfondation Residency — Festival de Cannes (Moulin d'Andé Award), 2020, the Spanish Film Academy’s Artistic Residency Program, and Berlinale Script Station.
