Recap

Rosa, a successful designer living in an unspecified major city, finds her life upended by her grandfather's sudden passing. This significant loss awakens her to a profound realization: she hasn't experienced a sense of connection or love since departing her homeland. Motivated by this revelation, Rosa returns to her native village, located on the border between Northern Portugal and Spain's Galicia.
