Antoñito still does not dare to tell his girlfriend that he still sleeps in the same bed as his parents. Will he tell her the truth before they go to bed, or will he keep quiet? A comedy critique of the situation of many young people who, because of the crisis, cannot emancipate themselves.

A ten-minute film that weaponizes domestic intimacy as political critique—the absurdist horror of a grown man trapped in his parents' bed becomes a searing indictment of economic collapse, and it's hilarious precisely because nobody else would dare frame austerity as bedroom farce.
Cuevas García deploys the rhythms of classical Spanish comedy while interrogating its own premises; the film's formal restraint—knowing exactly when to cut, when to linger on discomfort—positions it within a lineage of socially conscious European satire that doesn't announce itself.
The entire film hinges on a single directorial choice: treating the shared bed not as a punchline but as a spatial fact, matter-of-fact and inescapable, which transforms what could be sitcom fodder into something genuinely unsettling and real on almost no budget.
