Plots(1)

Station of the forgotten chronicles the relationship between an old sailor (Domingo) stranded away from sea and a teenager (Pau) who finds difficult to fit in society. Their paths will cross, for various reasons, at the old people’s home where Domingo now lives, and where Pau is serving a community service sentence. They find each other at a key point in their respective lives: Pau is negotiating the tricky path from adolescence to maturity, and Domingo, the equally tricky one leading from old age to death. In spite of their age difference, they will become the closest of travel companions. With the help of Pau and Domingo’s granddaughter (Clara), the old sailor will break free from the old age home in order to see the sea one last time.
In this story, the main characters are forced to confront facts that will change their lives forever. Touching and compelling, Station of the forgotten encourages viewers to think about our elders, whose only fate seems to be to be forgotten. And once they’re gone, it’s sometimes too late to get them back. At the end of the journey, Domingo will be reunited with his beloved wife, Pau will finally find his place in society, and Clara will find herself again. Station of the forgotten is a journey to the lighthouse at the edge of the world (Creus cape) and a love story full of warmth and emotion. (Canónigo Films)
