Spoilers ahead

Luis Forest, an aging Falangist writer (portrayed by Pep Munné), has retired to Sitges to review his past, ponder a failed marriage, and write his memoirs. He lives in near-total isolation, sharing a sprawling house with only his dog and Tesla, the housekeeper, for company. The quiet routine of his days is a fragile shield against the guilt that lingers over his political past and his complicity with the Francoist regime. The atmosphere is thick with memory, regret, and a sense that every room in the house holds a trace of what was and what could have been.
