Vitoria, Basque Country, Spain, March 3, 1976. After several months of protests demanding decent working conditions, a general strike is called. Thousands of workers gather at the church of San Francisco while a hundred heavily armed policemen wait to act.
Two families, one Muslim and one Catholic, are urgently called by the director of the nursing home where their parents reside, who have fled together. Two such distant cultures are forced to relate, despite their diverging worlds.
