In the tumultuous landscape of 1970s Romania, a mother and her son embark on an uncertain journey from the ruins of their home to the dream of a new life in Barcelona.

Alex is ten years old when the Vrancea earthquake reduces his home to rubble, taking with it his father and his best friend. Suddenly, it is only him and his mother, Eva, left in the ruins.

With Ceausescu tightening his grip on a fearful nation, they take refuge at his grandparents' home in the countryside. Alex struggles to adapt to rural life, while Eva, in the midst of grief and fear for their future, is secretly plotting their escape.

Inspired by real events and places, Alex and Eva's story is one of family, immigration, and relationships.
