Léa has to go to Girona unexpectedly as her grandfather has recently passed away. While there, she will meet with her family, whom she has not seen since she moved. The death of the patriarch of the Vich i Carbó family is just the right catalyst to force his descendents to get along. The wake, the mass and the funeral are full of nostalgia and grief brought by his death, but it is also the perfect time to stop the show of appearances and confront each other. Tres Dies amb la família has won numerous awards including the Goya for Best New Director in 2010.
