Synopsis
Told from a child's point of view, the story follows 10-year-old Manu who arrives in southern Spain, sent by his parents who are trying to sort out a marital separation. The plan is that Manu will spend a week with a different uncle on a rotating basis. The ecentric collection of family members includes a heartsick, bisexual uncle whose lover has just ended their affair, a sharp-as-nails grandfather, and a young cousin Fuensanta who gives Manu his first taste of puppy love.
