- Summary:
- Alma (Anna Castillo) tiene 20 años y trabaja en una granja de pollos en un pueblo del interior de Castellón. Su abuelo, que para sorpresa de su familia dejó de hablar hace años, es la persona que más le importa en este mundo. Ahora que ha decidido dejar de comer también, Alma se obsesiona con que lo único que puede hacer "volver" a su abuelo a su estado es recuperar el olivo milenario que la familia vendió contra su voluntad hace 12 años. Sin decir la verdad, sin un plan, y sin apenas dinero, Alma embarca a su tío "Alcachofa"(Javier Gutiérrez), de 45 años, arruinado por la crisis, a su compañero de trabajo Rafa (Pep Ambròs), de 30, a sus amigas Wiki y Adelle y a todo su pueblo, en una empresa imposible: recuperar el monumental olivo, replantado en algún lugar de Europa, y traerlo de vuelta a la masía familiar.
- Alma (Anna Castillo) is 20 years old and works in a chicken farm in the village of Castellón. She has a profound connection with her dearly beloved Grandfather, despite the fact he stopped talking years ago, to his family's surprise. After he decides to stop eating, Alma becomes obsessed with an idea. The only way to save her Grandfather is to recover the two-thousand-year-old olive tree that the family uprooted and sold 12 years ago against his will. Without telling the truth, without a plan, and with little money, Alma takes her 45-year-old uncle "Alcachofa" (Javier Gutiérrez) who is ruined by the crisis, her 30-year-old coworker Rafa (Pep Ambròs), her friends Wiki and Adelle, and all the people from her village to an impossible mission: to recover the historic olive tree that was replanted somewhere in Europe and bring it back to the family farm.
