Aritz, a 23-year-old mechanic, returns home from work and encounters his friend Sambou on a dark street in their hometown. Sambou insists they visit Epiola before parting ways for the night and asks Aritz to accompany him. As they journey through the streets, they reminisce about their childhood and the experiences they shared. However, their journey becomes increasingly quiet as they confront their fears, desires, and frustrations. Despite their efforts, they cannot remember where Epiola is or how to get there. They seem to have become trapped in their own memories, unable to move forward.
