Francisco lives alone in a small derelict farm house called 'Cortijo La Gorda', among the few trees that remain after a motorway was build just metres away. The farm house used to be a tavern in years gone by, run by Francisco's grandparents.

Once Francisco's grandfather died his parents moved in providing Francisco and his sister with a new home. Over the years his parents passed away, and his sister left home. Today Francisco is alone.

He now lives in the company of a bunch of small dogs. His home, in danger of collapsing on him, is all he's got. He spends his days relaxing among the mountains of junk which he collects from the surrounding area.
