Pedro, the grandfather, Maria, the granddaughter, José, who works as a consignee, and a migrant mother in Spain: these four characters tell us a story that unfolds in the intimate universe of a single place, a labyrinth of relationships and revelations that becomes a surprising metaphor for the country's past and present within a family: a terminally ill grandfather, a youthful love story, the old man who refuses to die, the new man who struggles to come into the world... only one solution is possible...

On the waterfront, a few soldiers inspect the perimeter where a festive table has been set up in front of a makeshift wooden stage. The garrison commander greets a motley group of foreign visitors as the waiters open the champagne to start the show. The perspectives alternate, the bah-humbug atmosphere at the guests' table is counterpointed by the reluctance of the performers and the resentment of those who prepare the meal and must serve the guests. From this group, the character played by Marga Barbu stands out for her eccentric, disruptive presence, upsetting the fragile balance of the whole performance and aggravating the already tense situation towards its dramatic climax.

Along a rocky, barren coastline, Jesus begins teaching, primarily using parables. He attracts disciples; he's stern, brusque, and demanding. His parables often take on the powers that be, so he and his teachings come to the attention of the Pharisees, the chief priests, and elders.
