All the rooms of Hostal España, a modest and centrally located establishment in the city of León, are occupied by elderly people, many of them coming from the abandoned rural environment. In its rooms, corridors and dining room, the seasons go by without pause for a community that has been invited to record their daily life and thus participate in the creation of a film that shows another possible way of life in the so-called third age.

In the middle of a broadcast about Typhoon Yolanda's initial impact, reporter Jiggy Manicad was faced with the reality that he no longer had communication with his station. They were, for all intents and purposes, stranded in Tacloban. With little option, and his crew started the six hour walk to Alto, where the closest broadcast antenna was to be found. Letting the world know what was happening to was a priority, but they were driven by the need to let their families and friends know they were all still alive. Along the way, they encountered residents and victims of the massive typhoon, and with each step it became increasingly clear just how devastating this storm was. This was a storm that was going to change lives.

A story about everyday life funeral in the 70s.
