Bélen, a young woman from Murcia, grows up in a family of hysterical women. When her grandmother Marta passes away, a legacy issue emerges. The ex-husband of Marta, Fernando, appears to have built up a new life in Ghent and inherits a part of the capital. The family is furious and wants to get hold of the money while Bélen tries to fight the hatred and travels to Ghent.
Will she solve the issue or simply get to know better her grandfather? Bélen searches for the truth about her family and about herself and discovers that wisdom lies in the art of acceptance.

Short Cinema celebrated at Leuven Short Fest
The 17th edition of the Leuven International Short Film Festival (3-10 December) again highlights talented short cinema from Flanders. With a strong Flemish short film competition, the VAF Wildcards and a number of professional activities, Leuven is for a short time the epicenter of short cinema in Flanders.
2011 has been a strong year for Flemish shorts with the Cannes Jury Award for Wannes Destoop’s Swimsuit 46 and the Grand Prize in Valladolid for Kevin Meul’s The Extraordinary Life of Rocky. Now the IKL fest has selected 20 short films from promising directors who may give us a new wave of international Awards in the future.
