Alma is a 20-year-old girl and adores her grandfather, a man who has not spoken for years. When the elderly man also refuses to eat, the girl decides to recover the thousand-year-old olive tree that the family has sold against his will. In order to succeed, she needs to count on her uncle, her friend Rafa and the whole town to help her. The problem though is to find out where in Europe the olive tree has gone …
