Plot
The plot follows Pablo Lopetegui, a misanthropic university lecturer in his 40s believing himself to be morally superior to others who needs to get a driving license. To that purpose, he joins a driving school, meeting with one of his alumns at the university (Yolanda), and driving teacher Lorenzo, among others. Meanwhile, Lopetegui also maintains a very amicable relationship with his ex-wife.{{Cite web|url=https://www.diariosur.es/culturas/tv/borja-cobeaga-saca-20221102000203-ntvo.html|website=Diario Sur|publisher=Grupo Vocento|first=Oskar|last=Belategui|title=Borja Cobeaga saca punta al mundillo de las autoescuelas|date=2 November 2022}}
