In 2020, the director travels to Benidorm to visit his uncle Enrique, who had migrated to South Africa in the 1970s and lived there during apartheid. Enrique worked his entire life as a metalworker and, upon retirement, devoted himself to traveling and painting. Eventually, he settles in Benidorm and never leaves again.

The film portrays a working-class man somewhat worn down by life, yet cheerful and talkative. It also shows certain psychological strategies of rejection toward a field —the art world— that does not welcome just anyone, as well as the existential struggles faced by the children of those defeated in the Spanish Civil War: fragmented families one must escape from by any means possible. Those silences of the defeated persist to this day, and cinema is, in part, a tool to explore them.
