About

In a dystopian society, Simón looks after the refugee child David and searches for his mother, while Inés agrees to take on that role.

In a dystopian society where newcomers are renamed and can leave their history behind, Simón (Manolo Solo) meets the child refugee David (Alex Peláez) on the journey to that existence and takes the boy under his care. Simón is sure he has to look for David's mother, though David remembers nothing about her. He settles on Inés (Patricia López Arnaiz) as the woman he has in mind for the part, and she agrees to take it on. A bond that is not ordinary grows, and the idea of family keeps changing.

The surrounding society is rule-bound and suspicious of anyone who stands out. David resists that pressure and chooses imagination and freedom. The film is based on J. M. Coetzee's Jesús trilogy.

Based on The Childhood of Jesus
