When Benito Lacunza, a shiftless waiter cum aspiring jazz musician, has to return to his hometown Estella for a few days, he is surprised to learn that his goody-good brother Lalo—who makes sculptures out of scrap metal—is about to marry. Benito remembers the bride all too well from his oat-sowing adolescence; she is Nines, a single mom who’s seen her share of hard times. Benito decides to save his brother from such a fate, but unexpectedly finds himself up against a formidable foe in the person of Nines’s daughter, Ainara, an introverted, rebellious, precocious smoker who Benito ends up forging a one-of-a-kind friendship with. When things take a turn for the worst in this peculiar family, Benito decides for the first time in his life to take control.
