The latest work by Guillem Clua and Josep Maria Mestres is back
Adri, a young caregiver for the elderly, starts working at the home of Llorenç Cardona, one of the most respected and beloved actors in Catalonia. On his first day, his niece Miranda warns him that in order to keep his job he will have to follow a lot of rules that go beyond his usual tasks: in the final stretch of his life, Llorenç seems to have lost his mind and sometimes decides to behave like the characters he has played during his long career, forcing Adri to go along with the flow. Throughout their coexistence, Llorenç embodies all kinds of mythical characters as he establishes an increasingly close relationship with his caregiver, who will end up discovering the real reason why the old actor has found refuge in theatrical fiction to escape a reality that he is unable to face.
