    • Synopsis
    • Nora is 30 years old and lives with her Argentinian grandpa, Nicolas, in a small village in the north of the Basque Country. She regularly takes care of her friend Meri’s kids and writes the horoscope for the local paper, although her dream is to become a travel writer.

      When her grandpa dies, Nora inherits his old van. Despite being a terrible driver, she decides to take a road trip along the Basque coast and take her grandpa’s remains to the south of France, where her grandma is buried.

      Once on the road, she soon discovers that she’s not a natural traveler and that her dream is actually completely incompatible with her. Despite the rough start, however, Nora will come to realize that the trip has finally given her the chance to be free, to grow, to heal old wounds and to allow herself to be truly happy for the first time.
