This is a fictional portrait of a real person. Nicolás Carrillo Castro was the pianist at the music museum in the abandoned village El Triunfo. He played the piano there until the day he died. This short film is a fictional portrait of the village itself through the character of Nicolás, the life story that Nicolás invented for himself, the contrast between beauty and abandonment visible throughout the whole village and the moment Nicolás died.
