Synopsis:

As every year, Carlos spends his summer with his family in Extremadura. This time he'll stay longer, since there are no jobs to be had in Madrid. In addition, his father's health is failing and he needs Carlos to help with the sheep. In this town, where the elders still celebrate the medieval rites of driving the evil forces out of the village, Carlos meets a young policeman named Juan and they fall in love with each other. A friendship ensues amidst the problems of rural exodus and unemployment among young people, amidst age-old rituals and a crisis of a nation, all this set against a spectacular backdrop which seems somehow not of this world.

As every year, Carlos spends his summer with his family in Extremadura. This time he'll stay longer since there are no jobs to be had in Madrid. He meets a young policeman named Juan who has been transferred there from the capital and a relationship develops that does not quite fit in a village where old men still don knight's armor and reenact the past while dancing together to songs of friendship. Far away from the big city, tourism and the gay scene, against a landscape that seems at times almost otherworldly, Carlos and Juan must discover if their relationship stands a chance.
