Synopsis
“Cristian thinks he is a superhero!,” says Carmen of her partner, a concierge who continues to work during the confinement. His positivism clashes with her fears, because she has lost a friend due to the virus. We discover the microcosm of the building where he works, where a neighbour opens with a plastic bag on her head, and another asks if “the neighbour of the second floor is alive or dead”. In this universe, Fran goes out on the balcony to play music and to soothe the sadness of her grandfather’s death. He has not been able to say goodbye.
