In addition, fourth-year student Adrià Guxens attended the festival as a Mezcal Jury member representing the school.

 

Synopsis

Amadeo is a good person. He lives in a quiet village in Valencia, and since his wife died, he devotes himself body and soul to taking care of his invalid father-in-law, Mr. Agustín. Because of this, he goes quite unnoticed among the people. One fine day Lolín, the fishmonger’s daughter, has a premonition when she decapitates an eel: Amadeo has seven days left to live. This will trigger a series of events that will change his life completely.
