Does anyone know what the film is about?


I can't find a synopsis of the film. I've tried the film's website but its in spanish and there are no translation tools. So if anyone knows anything about this film please respond. Thanks :>

From Variety:

A TRAM IN SP (Tusitala/Mundo Ficcion)
An aged brother and sister welcome a squatter. Touching vision of the dreams of old age from first-time Aitzol Aramaio, with Daniel Bruehl. Shooting.

It's based on a novel by Spanish author Unai Elorriaga.

There's a bit more info on http://www.danielbruhl.com/ (e.g. in the forum).

Hi,
Daniel Bruhl plays a traveling musician in this film. He comes to a small village in (I believe) Pais Vasco, and he meets and moves in with an old brother and sister living in the village. The brother in the film suffers from dementia and his sister is his caregiver. Throughout the film we get glimpses of one summer in the 30s or the 40s and characters from the brother's past. It's a great movie, with a relaxed pace. Definitely made me want to go travel through smaller towns in the North East of Spain.
