Aventis is based around a legendary Spanish style of storytelling, known in the Catalan language as "aventis," blending fact, fiction and myth to tell its epic tales. Decades after the Spanish Civil War in Barcelona, a doctor and a nurse stumble across a body that played a vital role in their childhood "aventis". As flashbacks reveal the story that may or may not have happened, this modern couple uncovers a whole new series of surprises. (official distributor synopsis)
