Synopsis:
It is 1983 and Paco and his friend Frogs have gone out on the field that lies on the outskirts of the little hole of a village in the Irish countryside where they live. They have built and intergalactic radio to be able to communicate with aliens and now they are waiting for the spaceship to land. It doesn’t. Instead the Colombian pilot Ernesto crashes on the field. Paco, who thinks that his father is Spanish, has learnt the language by listening to cassette tapes and is the only one who can speak to Ernesto when the entire village tries to get him airborne again. But Paco interprets and translates what Ernesto says to his own benefit.
