Spain, 1960s. The family of poor farmers work hard in the countryside for the rich landowners who exploit them.

Somewhere in the Spanish countryside, in the 1960s. Paco and his wife Régula are very poor. They work as tenant farmers for a very wealthy landowner. They have 3 children, one of whom is disabled. The others cannot go to school because the master "needs" their work. When Regula's eccentric brother, Azarias, is fired from where he worked for 61 years, he settles down with his sister and brother-in-law.—Yepok
