A warm, playful comedy about working-class fathers bonding with their daughters on a road trip to Berlin, grounded in 1980s Basque charm and the discovery of unexpected fatherhood.

In the late 1980s, in a working-class neighborhood on the outskirts of Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain. A girls' rhythmic gymnastics team has the opportunity to compete in a tournament in Berlin; but since the girls' mothers cannot take time off work, it is the fathers who must accompany them on the trip.
