Living in a van on the outskirts of Barcelona, Bear (Pol López) does everything he can to give his six-year-old daughter a life filled with joy, even when there's little to hold onto. Between unsteady routines and fragile hopes, their bond becomes a quiet act of resistance. A heartfelt story about love, dignity, and the small miracles that can bloom in the hardest places.
