Synopsis

Nora is a 30-year-old woman who lives with her Argentine grandfather, Nicolás, and regularly takes care of her friend Meri’s children. She writes the horoscope for the town’s magazine, although her dream is to be a travel writer.
When her grandfather passes away, he leaves her an old Dyane 6 car as an inheritance. Despite her terrible driving skills, Nora embarks on a road trip without a destination along the coast of the Basque Country, with the intention of scattering her grandfather’s ashes next to her grandmother’s resting place.
The journey quickly teaches her that she is not a natural traveler and that her dream had nothing to do with who she really is. It was merely an excuse for her to give herself a chance to be free, to grow, to heal old wounds, and for the first time, to allow herself to be happy.
