After separating from his partner, Vicente, a 76-year-old man, lives life on his own terms in Maspalomas. His days drift between the sun, late-night parties, and the search for pleasure. But an unexpected accident forces him to return to San Sebastián—and to reconnect with the daughter he abandoned years ago. Now living in a retirement home, Vicente finds himself pushed back into the closet, compelled to hide a part of his identity he believed he had long since embraced. In this unfamiliar environment, he must confront a difficult question: does he still have enough time to make peace with others… and with himself?
