Martín is a man close to 50 years-old. A while back he lived in Madrid, where he failed on what he had always wanted: to be a film director. He went back to his birth city, Palma de Mallorca, and became a very gloomy man, a defeated man. Martín is going to teach some film courses in his county, courses that seem insignificant for the politicians in his city. It is just a simple compromise by the ruling government to for amateurs of the seventh art, where there are probably unemployed people or people who are bored and without any pretension. After all, this is Majorca. But there Martín will find, to his surprise, five students of different ages with a determination and a passion for making films that he did not count on. Contrary to what we are accustomed to the genre of classrooms, where it is always the teacher who "pulls" defeated and discouraged students to place them on the path of hope, here it will be the other way around: it will be the students who, with their tenacity and strength, "will pull" of the teacher to get involved and help them in their eagerness to make movies, something to which he will refuse so that they do not end up becoming what he is now: a failure.
