Jacinto is a nine-year-old child trapped in the body of a man near his fifties. He lives with his old parents in Mallou, a small village that lies in ruins in the middle of the Galician mountains. Far away from the modern world, Jacinto has built a fantasy world in which he is the absolute king. This world breaks in pieces when a couple of new neighbors arrives to the village.
