August Days

Weighed down by long months of efforts to find information on a period much referred to by journalist Ramόn Barnils, Marc phones his brother David and they both set off on a short holiday. However, Marc cannot switch off and his brother takes him further south to a place where people come from afar to catch a fish with, so they say, cat whiskers.Without knowing it, the two brothers will lose themselves in an unknown landscape in which their grandfather lived a number of adventures, and they will meet drifters who will show them the way to a lost paradise.
