Synopsis

Elsa is an advertising director whose mother dies during a long weekend in December. She finds refuge in her work, though it's more of a desperate attempt to escape her grief. She works tirelessly and, without realizing it, doesn't allow herself the time needed to grieve her mother's loss. Until a panic attack forces her to stop and take a break. Her partner, Bonifacio, is her lifeline during these moments of crisis. Elsa decides to travel to the island of Lanzarote with her friend Patricia, who also needs to get away from Madrid, while Bonifacio stays in the city. The story of these three characters, and a few others, unfolds alongside that of screenwriter and film director Raúl Durán, interweaving fiction and reality.
