As he navigates classes, field trips, and new friendships, he holds onto a secret mission: keeping a promise he made to his father. In order to do so, he will need to piece together fragments of his grandfather's stories and track down places linked to a long-buried childhood memory. Guided only by old photographs and hazy recollections, Julián embarks on a quiet journey through rolling hills, local archives, and little villages.
