Synopsis
Manel is a lawyer who suffers the loss of his girlfriend in a traffic accident. A year later, depressed and with only the company of his cat Lúculo, he begins to see in the news that a new highly dangerous disease has emerged in Asia and is currently under control. As the days go by, news about the disease continues to dominate the media worldwide, as the virus is spreading against all odds.
Seeing this growth and the possibility that the disease will reach Spain, his sister warns him of the danger of staying in Galicia, so she invites him to go to the Canary Islands with her and her military husband, who is the most informed about the current situation of the virus. Manel agrees, but just as he is about to board the plane, all flights are canceled due to the disease, and he is forced to stay in Vigo. Against the rules, Manel decides to skip his military obligations and stays at home, where he will learn to survive and resort to strategies he never imagined he would employ. The protagonist will encounter allies, enemies, and countless infected individuals that will lead Manel to make tough decisions on his journey to reunite with his sister in the Canary Islands.
Directed by Carles Torrens, this film is based on the eponymous novel by Manel Loureiro and stars Francisco Ortiz as Manel. The cast also includes José María Yazpik and Beta Vázquez.
