Twelve short films, twelve portraits of the city of San Sebastian.

Lubna (10) has arrived in Paris fleeing from the war. There she can see how whales fly over the Eiffel Tower, while she voices the hope that her parents can get there too.

Javier and Romerales, two homeless veterans, sleep under one of the cornices surrounding Madrid’s tourist-packed Plaza de la Ópera. Together with them, a long journey will begin round the busy streets of the capital, where surviving without giving in to madness becomes all of an art. The friendship between these two characters and their outlandish lives make this film a hymn to life, death and dignity.
