Barcelona. While visiting his mother, Pau receives a phone call: Alex, his brother who disappeared long ago, has committed suicide. Pau and his mother, who is unaware of what exactly happened, set out for the small Pyrenean village where Alex lived before he took his life. This is a journey down their common past, intimate and painful.
