In the middle of somewhere, there is a housing estate which is continuously depopulating for several years now. However, some people have decided to stay back in the same place, because of their own choice and not the compulsion. They are more attached to the place because that’s where they were born and they grew up. Among them is Francis, a meticulous worker who continues to maintain the machine on which he has been working all his life; Samir, his son, who returns to the place after a long period of absence. Maria is their neighbour, living alone with his son Jose, who believes that his father is Gary Cooper. So, he waits all day in the street of this no man’s existing land, which resembles nothing more than just as a backdrop of some Western setting.
