Synopsis: 

Olívia is a pharmacy assistant in training. She has spent her entire youth living under the guardianship of Andreu, her husband, with whom she had Mariona, her daughter. She became a mother when she was only 20 years old. He, facing the gallery, is the perfect father, the charismatic neighbor, and the most charming son-in-law. At home, Olívia's freedom is increasingly restricted. The arrival of the pandemic does nothing but worsen the situation.

Olívia, feeling increasingly overwhelmed, prepares at work to sign her first contract, with which she hopes to regain a certain freedom and thus distance herself from the conventionality that covers her relationship with Andreu.

Despite this, he uses the prevention and general ignorance around COVID-19 to repress Olívia's attempts to leave the house and go to work, criticizing her for her irresponsibility and even blaming her for the possible contagion that he and their daughter may suffer.
