A tender, bittersweet portrait of lifelong friendship tested by mortality, where small moments and a loyal dog become vessels for love and acceptance.

Tomás, who lives in Canada, travels to Madrid, Spain, to visit his old friend Julián. Both of them, accompanied by Truman, Julián's faithful dog, will share many surprising and emotional little moments, triggered by the hard situation Julián is going through, for just a few days.
