Lady Off

Pablo, a young man from the neighborhood, is late at night with his friend Néstor. They both wait for the van to pick them up. In the meantime, Paul's mother keeps calling him back home.

Carolina is a young woman who lives in her old van. She is pregnant and has decided to live her pregnancy freely. Away from doctors and away from her family, which she was very close to. She enters into the depths of an ancient society which provides its services to those who need it. A journey without cuts to the deepest instincts of motherhood.

An anthology film with 20 stories on the subject of words, communication, linked to one another over a 400-metre stretch: from Madrid's Lavapiés Square to the Sala Mirador. A journey between theatre and cinema, filmed in a single fixed shot running continuously over 80 minutes and half a kilometer, in Madrid's popular Lavapiés district. The characters talk, argue, laugh, cry, threaten, whisper, shout, steal, make dates, get angry with and hug one another, prompting the spectator to reflect on the immense power of words.
