‘Cinco Lobitos - Alauda Ruiz de Azúa’

Amaia has just become a mother. Her partner is away from home for months and she feels overwhelmed, incapable of looking after her baby and going back to her job as a translator. She decides to take refuge in her parents’ home, in a lovely coastal village in the Basque Country, with the hope that they will look after her and her baby. But life has other plans…
