The film's story is about the Rivero family, which goes on vacation, leaving their daughter Ana, who is studying for a competitive examination, and grandfather Ricardo, in Madrid. Ricardo is accommodated in a nursing home during this period. At the residence, Ricardo meets Andrés, his roommate and new friend, and they reminisce about their youth together, leading to tender and amusing episodes. During the course of the summer, Ricardo is beset by Alzheimer's disease.[3]
The filming took place between Madrid and San Sebastián. The film's release date coincided with the international's day of the degenerative disease. During the filming the therapist to whom the film is dedicated to and director's advisor discovered that Mercero had its first symptoms. Mercero would be diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.[4] It was his last film as well as José Luis López Vázquez'.[5] [6] [7]
