Beloved Spanish actor José Ramón Soroiz plays Vicente, an elderly gay man, who left his wife and daughter when he came out of the closet in his fifties and has spent the last twenty five years living it up with his partner in sunny Maspalomas. But when Vicente suffers a stroke, he is moved back to a nursing home in Donostia, the city he abandoned. Suddenly faced with a crisis of identity, Vicente must find a way back to himself while confronting the past he left behind.


Premiered at San Sebastián before releasing in cinemas across Spain. Maspalomas is nominated for 9 Goya Awards.
