The two are single and accidentally became pregnant. Janis (Cruz), middle-aged, has no regrets and in the hours before childbirth is full; the other, Ana (Smit), is a teenager and is scared, remorseful and traumatized. Janis tries to cheer her up as they sleepwalk through the hospital hallway. The few words that cross in those hours will create a very close bond between the two, which chance will be responsible for developing and complicating in such a resounding way that it will change the lives of both, according to the synopsis. The promotional video starts with an image of the birth of Janis, professional photographer, and her conversations with the character of Elejalde about the paternity of the baby. There are also several scenes with Smit and Aitana Sánchez Gijón, who plays an actress and releases a memorable phrase: “The actors are all left-wing, I am apolitical, my job is to like everyone”.
