Leire meets a friend at a bar to dissect her latest Tinder match: to her friend Momo, Darío seemed like the ideal guy, but something about him doesn't quite convince her.

The scouts
A rom-com that interrogates the uncanny valley of 'perfect' dating app matches—subverting the genre's usual meet-cute beats by making the perfection itself the red flag. It's a small but genuinely weird premise that most scouts would sand down into something safer.
Caballero uses the intimate two-hander format with disciplined restraint, anchoring the piece in the conversational tradition of cinema—where what's *unsaid* about Darío matters as much as the punchlines. The construction of doubt through dialogue is economical and purposeful.
The film lives or dies on the specific beat where Leire's skepticism tips from playful to genuine unease, and Caballero nails it with a single glance and pause—a micro-performance choice that transforms the whole thing from joke into something genuinely unsettling on a shoestring.
