Lo demás es aire

Toñanes is the small village in Cantabria where Emilio and Mercedes have just bought a second home. They have savings, two girls and a baby on the way, and a little house by the sea sounds like a good idea. They still do not know that the pregnancy will be so complicated that they will have to decide if they want to continue with the pregnancy; that they will doubt until the last moment whether or not their son will come to run through that garden. It's spring 1984 and there are six months left to settle accounts. But it's also 1633 and it's winter and Juan and Juliana have just lost their third baby, and it's 1946 and Luis and Teresa are dancing in the pilgrimage, and it's 1753 and Francisca is secretly learning to write and it's 1937 and the whole town it is hidden in the same cave and it is the Cretaceous and an ammonite has to die so that in 1995 a child can find it. Everything happens in the same place and at the same time, in that village that only has thirty-four houses, a church and no bars.
