Behind the orchard that surrounds the squatted neighbourhood of Errekaleor, the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz grows with the construction of tall, new buildings. While its inhabitants resist the threats of eviction creating a collaborative network, other species grow in the orchard and begin a dialogue with the community.
