by Antonio Tena

Nemesio, an octogenarian from a town in Extremadura, goes to vote on the verge of closing election day on a rainy Sunday night. By a surprising twist of fate, his vote will have to decide the result of a disconcerting referendum on Spain’s permanence in the European Union From that moment on, Nemesio and its unknown town will become the information center of the world.
