Suso has died of an overdose. Cundo has returned to their Asturian village after 10 years in Argentina for the funeral, and to meet up with the other members of their formerly hard-living gang--Fernando, now married to Cundo's ex girlfriend Rosa and Pablo, a farmer who dates a prostitute whose services are regularly employed by Mote. There is also Marta, whose virginity Cundo does not remember taking and his parents, Tino and Mercedes.Cundo finds a series of drawings left by Suso that, Rosa explains, depict towers. Cundo takes this to mean they should build a mining tower in their dead friend's memory on the land in front of Suso's house--a crazy idea of which he has difficulties convincing the others. When they come around, the lovable idiot friends use the building of the tower as an opportunity to grow up--with the suggestion that this has been engineered by the dead Suso.
