Using Mas de Castell, a Costa Brava villa, as its anchor point, the plot spans across four eras: 1930s nights tied to Josep Maria Sert and Salvador Dalí, Ava Gardner-era 1950s glamour, a 1999 party that revives old echoes, and a 2025 journalist digging for what the building still holds.

After serving a ten-year sentence, Noa, a 48-year-old transgender Roma woman, struggles to regain custody of her teenage children who are under state care. The system demands that she find a home, but due to lack of resources, Noa squats in an apartment from which she is about to be evicted. Her cousin Mary Karmen, an intersex Roma squatter activist, is her loyal companion, along with other friends living on the margins: Nani, a drug addict and pickpocket, and Luana, a homeless Portuguese singer. The solidarity and sisterhood among them all—infused with art and a surprising sense of humor—push them to survive their harsh realities.
