A group of young teenagers are aboard a bus speeding down a country road. They seem cheerful, as if they were going on vacation, but their destination is actually the funeral of one of their friends. During the trip, they try to stave off boredom and avoid the subject, but the unspeakable always resurfaces in one way or another. They must face the insurmountable, remember the good times, feel anger, but also learn to say goodbye, or at least take "one step at a time" before continuing on their way.

He must go to Spain to make a magnificent gown for the wedding of the King's nephew to the daughter of a Spanish noble.
