Jacinto is a nine-year-old boy locked in the body of a man in his early fifties. He lives with his elderly parents in Mallou, a ruined town in the middle of the Lugo mountains. They are the only three inhabitants left. Jacinto has manufactured a fantasy world in which he is the absolute king, but everything changes with the arrival of a new couple of neighbors: Alex and Ana, two dark black metal artists from Sweden in search of a quiet place to record the new album by his band "Tardigrades".
