Sinopsis:
Arnau is a young seventeen-year-old with a careless life. At college he falls in love with Olga, an engaged girl singing up for all social causes. This is his turning point. In order to impress Olga, he will join all her activities, even caring for elder people on the weekends at one of her charities. This is how he meets Ramon, an old confused libertarian with Alzheimer symptoms. After his initial disregard, Arnau begins to feel a certain affection for the old man, and helps him remember some of the sad episodes of his old fights against the fascist during the war. The loss of his brother Frederic during one of the attacks make him search for answers on certain questions. When all is solved thanks to Arnau, Ramon is finally at peace and dies. The relationship with the old man, his loss, the relationship with Olga – often complicated – has given a completely new sense to his life.
