Hairdresser Lou (63) from Rotterdam (NL) dreams of living in Spain, but taking care of her children and grandchildren doesn't make that possible. Therefore, she first sticks to a Spanish course in the city of Cadiz. However, she likes it so much there that she plans to open a hair salon. This meets with resistance from her children, who find her self-centered. Lou is faced with a dilemma: will she choose for herself or her family?
