This is the story of a group of former dock workers living in the gritty north of Spain left unemployed and looking for work after the local dock yard closes. The longtime friends end up spending their days with little to do but drink and talk, and maybe pick up women, as they also search for something new in their lives to help them retain a sense of personal dignity.
