Plot
Rocío, an unemployed single mother, has barely enough to eat as she does not receive unemployment benefits. Between feelings of shame, failure and the fear of losing custody of her 8-year-old son Adrián, she tries to maintain the appearance of living a normal life with some help from a neighbour. The situation becomes worse when the landlord, himself overwhelmed by debts, sues her for the rent she owes.
