Plot

Alba teaches English to Dídac, a 10-year-old-boy who loves football and tractors. One day as Alba is returning home on her motorbike, she sees three boys throwing Dídac into the lake. Without a moment’s hesitation, Alba dives in to save him. When they come up to the surface, everything around them has been reduced to ruins. They realise that they are the only two survivors.
