Synopsis

In a neighborhood slowly rotting away, three broken lives are about to collide.

Ramón runs the kiosk out of sheer inertia. Sixty-three years old, an alcoholic, humiliated. A shady business at its core and a dignity that's been shattered for years.
Iván is eighteen and his phone is always recording. Every afternoon he goes to the kiosk to harass, to provoke, to turn the old man into viral content. The views increase. So does the cruelty.
Eulalia watches from the window. Eighty years old, sick, forgotten by everyone. But she holds secrets from when she worked as a nurse. And she knows things. Things about medicines, about dosages, about how to make someone disappear.
When Iván records the inside of the kiosk and uploads the video to the internet, Ramón loses everything. The police take him away. The neighborhood points the finger at him. He has nothing left to lose.
And then Eulalia calls him.
"There's something you should see."
