In a town in rural Southern Spain, Antonia, a teenage mother, disappears in the middle of the night. Fifty years later and many kilometers up North, Carmen, an introverted casting director, looks for people to share their experiences when arriving in a new city.

During her escape, she arrives in Zubieta, a border village where ancient myths and modern conflicts seem to converge.
