What happens to the pain that arises from a feeling that we didn't even know we harbored? What about the silence that is created around a desire that we cannot share and that we can only repress? Marta and Daniel have recently been a couple and react differently to the news of an unexpected pregnancy. For a week they will feel lost, walking in a limbo of doubts and indecisions that will make them rethink themselves as individuals and as a couple.
In a world obsessed with resolutions, this story does not admit polarities and forces us to flee from mere black and white debates. And to stop and closely look at nuances and uncertainties. An invitation to swim in the sea of contradictions that the possibility of fatherhood and motherhood becomes. The will, instinct, freedom, social and political structures that affect our privacy are questioned here by the gaze of a man and a woman and the masterly skill of Marta Orriols when it comes to dissect intimacy and emotions.
