A film company reaches the border town of Alicante and Murcia to shoot a low-budget western, which will change the routine of the area, especially in the case of a group of children. But in addition, it is the return to her homeland of Sonia, who after many years of absence, goes to her home town to star in the film amid a landscape that recalls stories of her past.

However, this is not the first time a film was made in this town. Fifty years ago, Orson Welles wanted to shoot another western in the same area. Director Fran Ruvira traces the ghost of this western legend and claims a never realized dream that went unfinished by Welles.
