Paris, 1930. Luis Buñuel is penniless after the scandal surrounding the release of his last movie. Sculptor Ramón Acín, a good friend, buys a lottery ticket and promises Buñuel that he will pay for his next movie if he wins the prize.
A modern answer to Luis Buñuel's mythical documentary “Land Without Bread” (1933) about Las Hurdes, a historically impoverished region of the province of Cáceres, in Extremadura, Spain, and also a journey of discovery of the soul of this beautiful land and its inhabitants.
In this small village in Extremadura, population has been declining since the 1960s, driven away by unemployment. Alberto Martín Menacho returns to this region he knows intimately, and together with local youths, spins stories in a reality suspended between tradition and modernity, human and animal, between a thousand-year-old oak tree and Tinder. A strikingly graceful debut film.
The stork Cathy and the mouse Nicholas, was forced to close the theater where they work for living. With the courage and imagination that characterize them, our friends are used as intrepid reporters of a new television channel run by Big Mouse. Soon realize they need a program that launched to stardom. It will not be easy.
