Synopsis

Damián (Paco León) had been working in the same company for 20 years, but they decide to fire him. He takes it in a furious and a bit violent way. At that moment, he runs away to hide from his boss and ends up hiding inside a cupboard that has been loaded into a van. Finally, the piece of furniture ends up in the house of Lucía (Leonor Watling), Fede (Álex Brendemühl) and their daughter, María (María Romanillos). At that moment, Damián feels an impulse and decides to stay with the family, although moving from the shadows. It also features Juan Diego Botto, nominated for Forqué. Ferzoz and Goya awards for Best Supporting Actor for 'The Europeans' in 2020. It is based on the novel 'Desde la sombra' by Juan José Millás, author of works such as 'Los objetos nos llaman' and 'La soledad era esto'.

The filmmaker Félix Viscarret, director of series and films such as 'Under the Stars', 'Patria' and 'Vientos de La Habana', is in charge of the production, and the script was written by David Muñoz ('La estrategia del pequinés', 'Los favoritos de Midas', 'The Embassy').
