Salvador is the nephew and new tenant of María, a Chilean woman who has lived in London since the late 1970s. The film tells how Salvador adapts to his new home, which he shares with Russian, Japanese, Chilean and Spanish flatmates. Unexpected economic hardship suddenly turns what was meant to be a pleasure trip to Europe into a struggle to get by. Culture shock and bad luck make Salvador’s experience far more profound and surprising than he could have expected. Premiere in Spain.

Michal has lived in four different countries, learning their languages and sharing their customs. Each has generated a series of experiences that have formed him as an individual. But when asked where he’s from, what does he say?
