Maria Angeles, a 79-year-old Spanish woman, lives alone in Tangier, Morocco, and enjoys her daily routine. However, her life is turned upside down when her daughter arrives from Madrid to sell the apartment in which she has always lived. Determined to stay, she does everything she can to get her home and her belongings back and, unexpectedly, rediscovers love and sensuality.

ಮೊರಾಕ್ಕೊದ ಟ್ಯಾಂಜಿಯರ್ ನಗರದಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂಟಿಯಾಗಿ ಬದುಕುತ್ತಿರುವ 79 ವರ್ಷದ ಸ್ಪ್ಯಾನಿಷ್ ಮಹಿಳೆ ಮರಿಯಾ ಆಂಜೆಲೆಸ್, ತನ್ನ ದಿನನಿತ್ಯದ ಸರಳ ಜೀವನವನ್ನು ಆಸ್ವಾದಿಸುತ್ತಿರುತ್ತಾಳೆ. ಆದರೆ ಮ್ಯಾಡ್ರಿಡ್‌ನಿಂದ ಬಂದ ಮಗಳು, ಮರಿಯಾ ವಾಸಿಸಿದ್ದ ಅಪಾರ್ಟ್‌ಮೆಂಟ್ ಅನ್ನು ಮಾರಲು ಮುಂದಾದಾಗ, ಅವಳ ಬದುಕು ತಲೆಕೆಳಗಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ತನ್ನ ಮನೆ ಬಿಟ್ಟುಹೋಗಲು ನಿರಾಕರಿಸಿದ ಮರಿಯಾ, ತನ್ನ ಮನೆ ಮತ್ತು ಸೊತ್ತನ್ನು ಮರಳಿ ಪಡೆಯಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಾದ ಎಲ್ಲ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಗಳನ್ನೂ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾಳೆ. ಈ ಹೋರಾಟದ ಮಧ್ಯೆ, ಅವಳು ಅನಿರೀಕ್ಷಿತವಾಗಿ ಪ್ರೀತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಸಂವೇದನೆಯನ್ನು ಮರುಕಂಡುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾಳೆ.
