A Remarkable Tale

Marina Seresesky

Synopsis

Teresa witnesses the decline of Fuentejuela de Arriba, the small mountain village where she has lived her whole life. But the town receives an unexpected visit: in the midst of the snow, a group of displaced Africans appears… and their arrival shakes the village. Teresa is certain: fleeing from an exploitative situation they were deceived into, the Africans want to stay in Spain by any means necessary… and that could be the solution to the problem of the village’s dwindling population. With the help of her friends Jaime and “El Guiri,” she decides to hide them and devise a plan. Challenging prejudices and expectations, the newcomers and the local inhabitants will work together to ensure their home continues to exist.
