Synopsis
At the age of eight, Marcel is abandoned by his mother. He is raised by his grandfather Pascual who drives him into a world of fantasy and gives him the love and care that his mother couldn’t. Years later, when Marcel turns twenty-one, he thinks that the time to live by his own arrived. He’s got plans with his girlfriend and wants to leave his home. But at that time Pascual has turned old and starts showing the symptoms of a disease that will affect Marcel’s plans dramatically. He is sick of Alzheimer. Marcel will have to postpone his plans in order to take care of his grandfather… the only real family he ever had.
