This fish-out-of-water story concerns a substitute teacher in a new village faced with an uncooperative 6th class. Trying to find his feet, Aleix learns about a boy who is coming back into the class after an absence. Preparing the students to welcome their former classmate, he learns that nobody wants the boy to return. Old scores come to the fore as he realises that the class of children hold deep resentments and hurt, all of which they have to deal with in order to be able to move on. 

Aleix (played by award-winning actor David Verdaguer) tries to negotiate a path through the young people’s emotions, while at the same time face up to the fact of where he himself has landed despite his best plans.
