Candela accidentally runs over her nephew’s dog and decides not to confess. She invents a legend about a pilgrimage of dogs and invites the boy to join the search. As they look for it, Candela finds herself increasingly trapped in the story she has invented. A visually sophisticated Catalan film about how we use lies to protect ourselves.
