Synopsis:

A biologist, Guillermo (Camara) returns to his native Spain after discovering a plant growing in the Antarctic ice. The signs are that he is ready to give up his planet-saving cause. He contacts his wildlife-photographer brother, Alejandro (Castro), who lives in a woodland hut with an enthusiastic young Californian, Vincent (Jesse Johnson), both hoping that the bears that once inhabited this area of Spain will eventually return. Nearby to the woodland hut is Natalia (Emma Suarez), a widow and mother of Daniela (Garcia). Vincent also meets the schoolteacher, Rosa (Oona Chaplin), who he quickly falls for. Guillermo is forced to move into the woodland hut after he is kicked out of the home he shared with his foster mother, Josephine (Geraldine Chaplin). Tensions between the two brothers reach boiling point, as Alejandro's idealistic perspective is in sharp contrast with his jaded brother, Guillermo.

Alejandro and Guillermo are two brothers who have dedicated their lives to science. Guillermo is a biologist who has lost his faith. Alejandro is a zoologist who has nothing but faith. The two brothers have spent so long trying to save the planet they've forgotten what matters most: doing it together.
