He soon develops a fascination for war and starts to film himself as a soldier living exciting adventures in different war scenarios. His thirst for action leads him to enroll in the Spanish army and he is sent to Afghanistan, where he takes his video camera with him. But real war deceives his epic idea of war and he quits. Back in Spain nothing is how it was when he left. His parents, now divorced, are going through economic hardship and are on the verge of losing the family home where he grew up.
