Rafael is a passionate lawyer who supports underprivileged people. Supermarket cashier Azucena has 24 hours to prevent herself being evicted from her apartment by the police. And grandmother Theodora is also in danger of losing her home. Against the backdrop of the Spanish economic crisis, director Juan Diego Botto weaves the stories of several people from Madrid into a thriller that is as touching as it is gripping. Oscar winner Penélope Cruz and Luis Tosar – arguably Spain's most popular actor today – embark in the leading roles on a race against time.
