Synopsis
Isaías, 40 years old, was a promising architect, but the prizes he won in his youth are far behind him. Now he lives with his tongue hanging out between the park where he plays with his children and his architecture studio, where he laments with his partner Nico. Wherever he is, Isaías feels that he is not where he should be. And when he's with Ainhoa, his wife, it shows how exhausting children can be when they're so young. In the park he starts a friendship with Sonia, the mother of another child at school, with whom he learns that raising your children and entering adult life is not that simple. It never was.
The film tells the story of people who have become mothers and fathers without feeling quite prepared for it, and who find themselves submerged in the little domestic disasters that come with combining professional life and life with children. They cannot turn off that voice in their minds that tells them that, wherever they are, deep down they are doing everything wrong.
They are also people in a professional crisis: projects that do not go ahead, rivals that appear triumphant in the media, successes from the past that are falling further and further back in time... They are people stuck in an extremely competitive and individualistic profession where it seems that everyone would be willing to devour each other at the first opportunity. And they are people who feel trapped in their lifelong city, an endless labyrinth that no longer seems to offer any kind of surprise.
