SYNOPSIS It’s the late ‘80s in a working-class neighborhood on the outskirts of Bilbao. A children’s rhythmic gymnastics team has the chance to compete in a tournament in Berlin, but with the girls’ mothers unable to take time off work, it falls to the dads to take them on the trip. There's just one problem: these men have little to no interest in the sport or even in their own daughters.
