    • Synopsis
    • Fernando, Negro, Jesús and Benavente are four friends who have the ritual of seeing each other every day in their neighborhood bar. Three of them - Fernando, Negro and Jesús are unemployed and have a lot of free time, while Benavente is the only one who has a permanent job.
      Fernando is a talented journalist who, due to his bad luck, is unemployed, which has turned him into a bitter guy. El Negro is a hustler, a guy who is always involved in tricks and doing black jobs. Jesus
      He is paranoid, obsessed with conspiracy theories and aliens, which leads him to make absurd decisions and turn down jobs. Of all of them, the most mediocre and gray is Benavente who, paradoxically, is a winner who has
      climbed labor without almost trying.
      The four friends meet at the bar and, while they catch up on their affairs, we learn through time jumps how the characters have reached their current state and how they will end up in the future. Thus, we witness the fall from grace of Fernando as a journalist in the newsroom and the rise of Benavente who, thanks to his legendary good luck, becomes the mascot and talisman
      of the director of the newspaper in his poker gambles. We also witness how El Negro will entangle Fernando in one of his tricks, trafficking in laboratory guinea pigs. And how the paranoid Jesus rejected a job offer because whoever wanted to hire him had a 'weak hand', which clearly denoted his "reptilian origin", but in all his paranoias, there is one that is not so far from what he has subsequently given us. happened, including this pandemic that has affected us so much.
