Third film by Alfonso Albacete and David Menkes that unlike his two previous ones : ¨More than Love Frenzi¨and ¨Atomica¨ leave aside choral comedy to show the drama of a young woman who wants to move on , to whom life is taking things and adding things to her. The script is written by the two directors and by Lucia Etxebarria who also makes a small cameo as an actress, as well as the director Fernando Colomo. The story mixes drama, comedy and romance. This shows that contrary to what many believe, the opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality : the will to be alive and to continue assuming that life is not perfect. Concerning a peculiar love story between a sympathetic gay young and a hard-working girl with a young child who tries to carve out her future through a hard life , but ultimately, the two might have to settle for an "impossible" romance as their unique best road to happiness .One of the main diversions of the film is to find out which well-known supporting actor is appearing here and there, these include the following : Mirta Ibarra , Rosana Pastor , Manuel Manquiña , Maite Blasco , Alex Brendemühl , Javier Martín , Adrià Collado , Elena Irureta , Alberto San Juan , José Manuel Cervino , Fernando Tejero Alfredo Villa , Núria Prims , Paz Vega , María Esteve , Lucía Etxebarría , Fernando Guillén , among others.
