Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A camera shows, always in a fixed shot, the traditional Madrid of the nineties, bequeathing to the future images of acts and customs that are gradually being lost: it records the spontaneous words and gestures of anonymous people who behave in a natural way, as they would if the camera were not present.
