Description:

Nestled within the picturesque Spanish landscape during the enchanting Christmas holidays, the inhabitants of a quaint town indulge in an eccentric tradition - a dinner where affluent elderly women invite homeless individuals to partake in a feast at their lavish tables. Amidst this peculiar custom lies Plácido, a humble laborer enlisted by the event's organizers for a seemingly straightforward task: parading through the town's streets aboard his three-wheeled vehicle. However, as Plácido embarks on this deceptively simple mission, he soon finds himself navigating a maze of intricacies and challenges that test his resilience, compassion, and determination in unexpected ways. This heartwarming tale explores the depths of human kindness, societal expectations, and the transformative power of friendship amidst adversity.
