SYNOPSIS

In crisis-ridden Madrid, where the nights are "a place of frustrated emotions, dreams and passions shattered against the wall of a bar", a series of characters on the edge of another crisis, the thirty-something crisis, are looking for a direction: the heroine is a Non-Classified Element with a nostalgia for the sixties, a writer and 'setecientoseurista' (€700-earner) who wants to change the world. Among her friends she counts a former student who thinks that the only way out is to destroy everything in a dizzying battle between light and dark, a frustrated resting actress whose beauty just gets in her way, an IT nerd trying to find a 'sustainable freakishness', a strange, unsettling 'medradora'. And around them, cynics, depressives, people who have sold out, drop outs, the indignant 15-M-ers, searching, unexpected plot development, etc. An extraordinary, vivid depiction, with cinematographic-quality images, of present day society.
