Sinopsis
Antoine and Olga are a French couple who settled long ago in a village in the interior of Galicia. There they lead a quiet life, growing vegetables and remodeling abandoned houses, although their coexistence with the locals is not as idyllic as they wish. Their refusal to install a wind farm will accentuate the disagreement, especially with siblings Xan and Lorenzo, leading their possibilities of coexistence to a situation of no return. (Latido Films)
