The inhabitants of an illegal shanty town on the outskirts of Madrid are faced with an eviction as the land they live on has been sold. Intertwining real-life characters and situations with made-up subplots, this hybrid blend of fiction and documentary casts a glance at the Gabarre-Mendoza family, outlining all its members’ reactions, which range from denial and despair to optimism and determination. A gripping tale of emotional dislocation that explores the everlasting bond between human beings and their surroundings.
