Introduction

It’s summer in Bilbao. For 20-year-old Jone, this means the youthful glow of carefree party nights and falling in love. However, her days are filled with more adult fare – juggling work while caring for her widowed father, recently incapacitated with Parkinson’s disease. Anchored by Olaia Aguayo’s electric central performance, this moving story of love and family is thrilling, intimate and all-too-human.
