Tristán is a frustrated writer trying to publish his first novel while working at a sugar company. His life changes when he agrees, under mysterious circumstances, to fulfill his brother's last wish: to drive the frozen body of his brother Simón across Spain, to bury him at their childhood home.
Although they haven't spoken for years, Tristán accepts because there is a worthwhile reward waiting for him. However, it is Álex, a young hitchhiker he picks up along the way, who convinces him that the obstacles he will face on this strange road trip might be the real reward needed to become a successful writer.
