Spain / Bulgaria

1st film
Opta a: Premio FUNDOS

Vasil is smart, charismatic and a fantastic bridge and chess player, but has been sleeping rough since he arrived from Bulgaria. Alfredo, a retired architect, takes him in his house for a while before the astonished look of his daughter Luisa. The two men have nothing in common except their passion for chess. Despite their differences, little by little Vasil will manage to pull down the barriers built by Alfredo.
The truth is that Vasil has a gift: he can transform forever the people he mingles with.
