After the death of his wife, Miguel decides to take a trip, postponed for many years, Argeles-sur-Mer, a small town in southern France, where thousands of refugees are concentrated for some time.

Miquel moves to a town in the Spanish countryside. He is there to work in an industrial mill, ran by siblings María and Ángel. María, who dislikes her work and the neighbours she has to do business with, finds in Miquel a person similar to her.
