Childhood friends Julián and Tomás were once inseparable. Eventually, the two have lost sight of their friendship. While the divorced Julián remained in Spain where he has lived through the highs and lows of an acting career, the teacher Tomás emigrated to Canada, where he has built up a peaceful existence together with his job, his wife and his children. After a reunion one day in Madrid, their friendship is revived. Together the two spend a few wonderful days in the city full of nostalgic memories and unforgettable experiences knowing that this may be their last reunion because of Julián’s complicated situation. 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, winner of 2016 Goya Awards (Spain’s highest film awards): Best Picture/Director/Screenplay/Actor/Supporting Actor.
