SYNOPSIS:
The counter of a café on any given day before noon. Regular patrons and strangers sharing churros and sandwiches under the ruthless guidance of Amparo, the owner. A hipster surfs the Internet with his laptop, while Trini slowly flushes all the grocery money down the slot machine. The office workers chat with the street dustbin man about how the morning is going, and everyone in turn puts up with Israel’s, the alcoholic bum who eats breakfast every day at the café thanks to Amparo’s generosity, fun silliness. with Israel’s, the alcoholic bum who eats breakfast every day at the café thanks to Amparo’s generosity, fun silliness. Meanwhile, Satur, the waiter who has worked there longer than the coffee machine has, is delighted by the arrival of Elena, a young woman on her way to a date who had to stop over at the café to recharge her phone.
Life goes on as usual until one of the office workers leaves the place and is shot in the middle of the deserted square. The crowd is stunned and only the street sweeper decides to go out and aid the fallen man, but he too is immediately shot. Everyone tries to find an explanation to why no one outside comes to the aid of the fallen men: it could be a madman shooting from the roof.
The square remains strangely empty and their phones have no reception. In the midst of the confusion, they discover that someone has removed the bodies from the square without them noticing. From that moment on, speculation runs wild, but soon one idea seems to gain momentum: what if the danger is inside? What if the gunshots are trying to prevent someone from leaving the premises and endangering those outside?
