The Beetle At The End Of The Street
Amadeo is a good person. He lives in a small village in Valencia, and since his wife died, he has sacrificed himself taking care of his father-in-law, Agustín, who is disabled. As a result, he doesn't participate much in the village's social life. One day, Lolín the fishmonger has a magic foresight while decapitating an eel: Amadeo has only seven days to live. This fact sets in motion a series of events that will change his life completely.
