The sandwiches and croquettes that SATURNINA (64) prepares every night in her bar in Madrid are a resounding success. One morning, her husband dies suddenly. Saturnina, who has lived forty years locked up in the bar, breaks with everything and accepts to work as a cook in a campsite in the heart of the Pyrenees. There, surrounded by a colossal nature, Saturnina, now SATURNA, finds meaning to her life.
