Amador comes back to his home village after serving time in prison for arson. His mother, Benedicta, accepts her son’s return with stoic calm. The man gets involved in village life, which passes peacefully and in harmony with nature, his days occupied with caring for mom's house and three cows. But one day flames rise again… Following Mimosas, a hypnotic Moroccan odyssey, Laxe returns with a movie that declares his love for the land of his forebears and the simple life. But the beautiful wooded hills of Galicia – sometimes hidden in thick fog, other times bathed in the sun’s rays – are prone to wildfires. And people always feel the need to name the culprit. Winner of the Un Certain Regard Jury Prize at this year’s Cannes IFF.
