- Synopsis
- Stella, an Argentinian living illegally in Spain, spends her days at home watching western movies on TV. Since her diagnosis with ALS, her health has deteriorated: she cannot speak and she can barely walk. Paco, her partner, takes care of her 24 hours a day. He tries to lift her spirits with his jokes, but his health is also worsening as he carries on smoking and drinking. They are visited occasionally by Stella´s daughter, Valeria, who, to avoid this reality, goes out partying more and more. The situation intensifies when Paco is admitted to the hospital — Valeria must then move into her mother's house and take care of her. 'Figures' shows the struggle against ALS by an actual family that has been ignored by the establishment.
