Natalia and Carlos, both aged 20, are in love but struggle to survive in Spain. They drift along without ambitions, picking up odd jobs and trying to keep each other happy. However, when Natalia becomes pregnant, circumstances change. To earn some money, they decide to shoot an amateur porno film.
Inspired by the works of Robert Bresson, Jaime Rosales imbues this social-realist drama with a striking sensitivity to the minutiae of everyday life. Confronting the dwindling welfare infrastructure in Spain, the film gives a voice to a young generation stuck in a cycle of financial precarity.
