On April 22nd, 1984, a man in his forties drives a white Mercedes to Estación de Francia, a busy railway station in Barcelona. He has three children in the car with him: five-year-old Ramón, four-year-old Ricard, and two-year-old Elvira.
'Sit here for a moment,' the man tells the three. 'I'm just gonna go and get us some candy.'
Time ticks by, but the man never returns. No candy either. The three abandoned kids are taken in by the police. When the police ask for the names of their parents, they say they don't know. Just Papa and Mama. The oldest brother, Ramón, remembers some fragments of their previous lives. There was a green Jaguar, a fountain in Paris and oh yes, a gun.
It will take almost forty years before the mystery of these three abandoned children is solved. And even then, they are left with a lot of unanswered questions.
