Fascinated by the character and manner of her great-aunt FACUNDA, Marta and a small film crew decide to move to the depths of La Mancha for a season. The objective is to document the passing of the days of this octogenarian who, every summer, returns to her hometown to live alone in her lifelong home. But the documentary story that they had imagined does not correspond to the reality of the daily life in La Mancha and it also seems that FACUNDA has proposed a mission: the relentless boycott of the film. Marta and the rest of the team prepare each of the scenes with care and organize their day to day to get to everything. But this war between the documentary discourse previously thought by the director and the naturalness with which the protagonist sabotages it ends up being the most authentic and close to FACUNDA'S portrait.
