Synopsis
Antonio and Bertha are a couple in their 90s who find themselves in trouble when social security pensions are cut due to a financial crisis in the country where they live. Their children haven’t visited them in many years and they are faced with finding a way to survive on their own. They are forced to sell their belongings and sustain themselves peddling food on the street or stealing. The lives of Antonio and Bertha change when their son Jonas and grandson Paco, absent from their lives for over a decade, appear unexpectedly once again.
