Casual Day is a company practice imported from the USA. Every Friday the workers are asked to exchange their suits for more informal attire. Ruy has always lived as he liked. Though clever, he's gotten himself into a jam. José Antonio, his girlfriend's father, has earmarked an important job for him in his company. He wants him to be his successor. At the age of 25, without actually having decided anything, he's trapped. He'd like to say no to the job, to José Antonio, to Inés, his girlfriend, and to the Casual Day stuff. But it's not easy to say no. What started out as a simple event, a weekend in the country, ends up deciding the rest of his life.
Alex (Fernando Tejero) and Virginia (Malena Alterio) spend their savings and get a mortgage to buy the floor of their dreams, with a terrace of five square meters. One day, without warning, the building works are stopped, already well advanced, and then begins the worst nightmare of their lives.
The library has been closed for half an hour and Rosario, the librarian, is setting the last few books on the shelfs and erasing the underlining that Armando, a waiter at the university’s café, has scribbled in several novels. That is, until she discovers that they are not simple underlines and that they haven’t in fact been written by Armando. When she looks up, she finds Armando standing in front of her.
