Pedro is a young architect having no success with the adoption and financing of his projects. He lives in Madrid with his uncle Luis, a physician equally unemployed. One day Pedro receives news that his grandfather Paco has died in the small town in Cantabria were he resided. Paco, as many other Cantabrians made his career and fortune in the New World, in his case as an architect in Mexico. He also constructed an art nouveau palace in his town, fronting the town square.

Pedro's inheritance consists of two cows and a donkey. He and Luis hitchhike their way to the town, surrounded by the verdant hills and valleys of Cantabrian landscapes with majestic mountains as backdrop. Both Pedro and Luis become fascinated by the local characters, especially Paula, granddaughter of Paco's best friend and Jana, a long ago girlfriend of Paco who is convinced that Paco left a hidden fortune and tries to pump Pedro for information that he doesn't have.

This is it. The script is rather predictable and some characters have a bit of cliché in them, Also, some scenes (involving Jana's antics as a witch) are not as funny as they could be, but all in all the movie is entertaining and easy to view. As a bonus we get a glimpse of the landscapes of Cantabria, mixing the spectacular with the idyllic. The title translates to In Another Place, but the copy available in the rental services is titled The Valley of Love.
