Plot[]

Julián, living in Madrid, receives an unexpected visit from his friend, Tomás, a professor living in Canada. Julián is an actor and has had cancer for a year, and his only companion now is Truman, his loyal dog. The friends and Truman share four days together.

Julián reveals he is opting for assisted suicide rather than chemotherapy if his health deteriorates. His cousin Paula and Tomás are disturbed by the news and share emotional and meaningful moments during Tomás's visit. They try to cope with Julián's situation. Julián gives his dog to his friend and they bid goodbye after an intense conversation.
