- EXTENDED SYNOPSIS
La familia Gabarre-Mendoza celebra el cumpleaños de su nieto cuando una inspección policial interrumpe el festejo. En la Cañada Real, un barrio de chabolas a las afueras de Madrid, surgen tensiones entre las autoridades y los vecinos, ya que los terrenos han sido vendidos y las familias son obligadas a abandonar las casas que ellos mismos han construido. Mientras, la madre, Agustina, pasa de ser una mujer muy alegre a vivir atormentada por el miedo; el padre, David, un chatarrero muy trabajador, intenta encontrar una solución, pero la burocracia del sistema les falla. Entretanto, los miembros más jóvenes de la familia -David hijo, la nuera y madre adolescente María y el joven Alejandro- luchan a su manera con sus vidas en la cuerda floja.
In a shanty town near Madrid, the inhabitants are forced to leave their self-build homes because the land they live on is sold. While this process slowly unfolds, the different members of the Spanish family Gabarre Mendoza struggle each in their own way, with their lives in transition.
