Synopsis[edit]

César is 45 years old but he looks like a teenager. He is an immature and abandoned father who feels liberated and rejuvenated since the divorce. Virginia is 47 years old and teaches English in her kitchen at home. She is a mother overwhelmed by work, her adolescent children and the separation. Manuel is 18 years old, he is a musical genius in the middle of a vocation crisis. Agustín is 15 years old and they are about to kick him out of school. In the middle of the family storm, César and Manuel have no better idea than to form a music band, the dream that César could not fulfill. But the generational clash between them makes the family band unsustainable.[6]
