Lost in the middle of the Spanish plains of Extremadura lies the small village of San Pedro de Mérida, which lives in a strange mixture of rhythms, between the slow wandering of lost places and the breakneck pace of the world's highways. Everything and nothing seems to happen in the bar of the ‘Ruta 5' petrol station, open 24 hours a day, but it is there where Ana decides to stop on her journey from Lisbon to Madrid. Ana, from Madrid, is going through her worst personal moment since she moved to Lisbon ten years ago. She gets lost between the tables and the bar, among truck drivers, traffic policemen and occasional travellers. What was going to be a short stop at a petrol station ends up lasting all summer.
