Plot summary
Marc and Rebeca arrive at the Basque farmhouse that belonged to Rebeca's grandparents and agree to write the history of their parents. Rebeca tells of her mother Macarena, who sang punk under the name La Maca while pregnant with her, and of Victor Mendoza, the stranger who becomes part of the family. Marc tells of his mother Nuria, in the summer of 1991 at the family house in Costa Grande, where Olmo Mendoza, her father's driver and bodyguard, drives her away and says the Georgian mafia wanted the house. The account reaches back to 1939, when Jacinto Mendoza and Julieta, children evacuated from Bilbao to Russia, marry and raise two sons there.
