In an effort to overcome the break up with his girlfriend, a young Basque man accepts the dubious invitation from a long-lost relative and moves to an isolated village in Argentina. Once there, he is caught up in an elaborate deception plan to recreate the Basque village in which an old woman that just came out of a coma lived in her youth in the 1950s. The second feature film by Elortegi is a touching and subtle comedy that benefits from a great Basque-Argentinean cast and the observation of cultural contrasts.
