Bilbao, mid-August. Jone, twenty years old, lives with her father and younger sister Marta. Aitor, Jone’s father, has had to leave his job due to the effects of his Parkinson’s. At the same time, the festivities of Bilbao’s Semana Grande begin, during which Jone will fall in love for the first time. During that summer, Jone will live between the feeling of immortality she shares with Olga, the girl she falls for, and the fear of being left alone because of her father’s illness.
In the words of the director, “the story was born within ESCAC, the film school in Barcelona. There, Nuria Dunjó, Nuria Martín Esteban –the two screenwriters– and I felt like exploring the theme of family. We sensed that we were entering a stage of life in which our parents are growing old, and in this shift of roles, care emerges. In that process, my father let me read his youth diaries, and in them we found another layer of the film. There was nothing particularly revealing in them, but it was like reading him at a stage of life we hadn’t shared, from a place where he had the same conflicts and fears that I have now.”
With the presence of the director Sara Fantova.
