Bea is a 50-year-old woman going through a divorce, and Denís is a 28-year-old trans man struggling with job insecurity. An unexpected incident brings them together, and this encounter will change their lives forever.

With her debut, Anxos Fazáns gave us “The Wild Season”, a film of late youth, rabid nostalgia and Galician rock. Here, she takes a leap in her career portraying the lives of characters who rarely appear on screen. They are stranded, yet eager to embark on a journey that will take them somewhere unknown. The film outlines a vital but everyday moment and introduces people beyond stereotypes. But it’s not just the plot that will seduce you in this story: there’s also tenderness and emotion in the gestures that make the subtle and barely seen become the most important. Discover that old vinyl, turn up the music, loosen up and step out onto the dashed lines.
