About

A Barcelona geography lecturer assumes a gardener's identity at a Portuguese estate and befriends the owner.

Fernando, a quiet geography lecturer from Barcelona played by Manolo Solo, is left adrift when his wife disappears. He travels to north-west Portugal, where he meets Manuel (Xavi Mira), a gardener who is due to start work at an old country house. Fernando ends up at the estate under Manuel's name and meets its owner, Amalia (Maria de Medeiros). A friendship develops between the newcomer and the owner of the quinta. The film is a Spanish-Portuguese drama directed by Avelina Prat.
