An Argentine filmmaker records the 2020 pandemic in Madrid during March. Having travelled to submit her short film selected at a Festival, she records the way in which the situation gets worse slowly and gradually, but at the same time rapidly, and consequently the health, economic and social crisis starts to be glimpsed. Shocking for the world and even for herself, who becomes trapped when the State of Alarm is decreed in Spain. The focus of the trip and of the film itself are distorted when she is repatriated and is once again locked up in her hometown, Buenos Aires, where she fully coexists with the confinement, leaving behind the expectations she had and couldn’t fulfill.
