An advertising director tries to bury her grief in work, then leaves for Lanzarote as a screenwriter puts her story on paper.

Elsa (Bárbara Lennie) is an advertising director. After her mother dies, she tries to keep her grief at a distance by focusing completely on her work. When migraines make that impossible, she goes to Lanzarote with her friend Patricia, while her boyfriend Bonifacio stays behind in Madrid. A second line follows filmmaker Raúl (Leonardo Sbaraglia), a screenwriter who is writing Elsa's story. Pedro Almodóvar wrote and directed the film. It works with autofiction, a mix of autobiography and fiction, and lets the two storylines sit alongside each other.
