About the film
Ulises is a young bassist who lives in Berlin where he is studying Jazz. After 5 years of comings and goings, he returns to prepare a concert tour with his friend Fernando. He returns to his hometown in the interior of the mining basin, framed in a valley where there are literally more dead inhabitants than alive... New encounters, friendships, post-rock and a worn-out graffiti from years ago that says "Ulysses faggot." Under the conservative gaze of the entire town, Ulysses must fight against his feelings while considering his identity for the first time.
