The story starts in a small Basque village famous the world over for its cheese. Its inhabitants put aside the differences created by the last armed conflict in Europe to pursue a mission: to be able to decide what to be in the world. Thanks to the adventure, they witness the historical events occurring in two nations as they hit the European headlines: Scotland and the Basque Country. A big story written in small letters. A documentary of the new era that turns our eyes towards the future.
