Synopsis

Pepe, an insensitive taxi driver in his late 50s, lives a mundane existence in Bilbao until a heart attack threatens his life. His childless wife Rosa is completely devoted to him. Rosa would gladly have turned to adoption to satisfy her maternal longings, but Pepe wouldn't hear it. The couple get a surprise visit from Begonia, an old friend, the daughter of a family for whom Rosa once worked. Begonia is back in Bilbao to see her son Jordi and she has some surprising news for Pepe and Rosa: Pepe is Jordi's biological father. While Rosa reacts with equanimity, Pepe is shocked to learn he has a gay son. His immediate response is to reject him. But after his heart attack and an accident to Rosa, some of Pepe's cruder edges have been softened.
