- Synopsis
- After a period in London, where she fled after the break-up of her relationship, Marta (28) returns to Barcelona. An unintentional phone call weeks before has put her back in contact with Laia (31), her ex-partner, with whom she meets again that night after years without contact. Although at first they both have to deal with the awkwardness of the moment, little by little the conversation brings them back together to heal the wounds of their common past.
  
  In the seduction, Alberto and Victoria, both in their fifties, calm their nights just a few seats apart. After a rough first interaction, a deeper conversation begins, plunging them into a public intimacy that leads them to discover each other. This evident harmony, which opens up naturally, leaves the question of how far they will go in sharing their solitude.
  
  Following the natural path of a relationship, we arrive at love: Joana and Hallam are a young couple who have been together for just over a year. Complicity and attraction reign at a dinner in which both will have to face a piece of news that, although positive in terms of work, will force them to separate for a while. Despite being two clearly different people, both are confident that they will overcome this obstacle.
  
  Fourthly, there is the break-up: Pau, a cartoonist who has been unemployed for months, and Gerard, a newspaper editor, are a couple on the verge of 40 who are showing clear signs of wear and tear. Driven by Gerard's efforts, who constantly tries to pull both their relationship and Pau himself, they go to the restaurant in an attempt to break their sad dynamic. However, the problems in their relationship surface during the evening, threatening them with an inevitable moment that they have both been dreading for some time.
