Dear Grandma

Mikel lives in Bermeo, Bizkaia; he is unemployed, his girlfriend has recently left him for someone else and he feels that his life and everything around him is crap. In other words, he hates Euskadi, for which he accepts the proposal of Chelo, a second uncle -son of his grandfather's sister with whom he has only had contact through Facebook-, to go to Argentina to work in the company that he is setting up. The proposal offers him the chance to work and a complete change of environment. However, when Mikel arrives in Argentina, he finds something completely unexpected: the town he is now in is a small "Euskadi" inhabited by Argentines who have never set foot on the land of their ancestors, but live it with passion and in an idealized way. There, he becomes a kind of "super Basque" for the neighborhood: The entire community turns to Mikel to resolve doubts about Basque literature, rural sports, ask him for advice on Basque cooking... Questions that Mikel is very far from knowing and that continually get him into trouble. As if that were not enough, Mikel will realize that his uncle is a dreamer with serious gambling and drinking problems, and that the company he's aiming to set up exists only in his imagination. Thus, Mikel ends up as a guest at the home of Amuma Dolores, his grandfather's sister and Chelo's mother, an old woman who left the Basque Country more than 60 years ago and who now remains in a semi-vegetable state receiving the care of a young woman, Ines. But everything changes when Mikel begins to sing a lullaby in Basque, as Dolores listens and thinks she is hearing her brother, Mikel's deceased grandfather. From that moment on, Amuma Dolores believes that she is in the Basque Country that she abandoned and that Mikel is her brother. All the inhabitants of the town will now try to maintain the ruse in the hope that Dolores, little by little, will regain her memories and become the woman that she used to be. However, the only thing that she seems to be interested in is celebrating her hometown festival: La Madalenas. In this way, Mikel finds himself trapped in the center of a world that is still much more Basque from which he wanted to flee. As the days go by and Mikel starts romancing Ines, a new perspective of his homeland begins to grown in him.
