Cobeaga explains that “this is the first script I have written about fatherhood, but I have realized that the story is above all about being a son or daughter. About how the fatherhood model changed between my father’s generation and mine.” .
In the working-class periphery of Bilbao in the late 80s, a children’s rhythmic gymnastics team has the opportunity to participate in a championship in Berlin. The task of accompanying the girls will fall to their parents, who do not seem very interested in the trip, nor in that sport, nor even in their own daughters.
