Carol is about to turn 30 and still cannot move out. With two master's degrees and a degree, she keeps sending CVs and getting the same answer — 'ya te llamaremos' — while her friend Pedro tries to triumph on social media and her father lives from party to party, forcing Carol to make desperate decisions.

Everyone's doing the broke-millennial-stuck-at-home thing now, but González Pascual actually flips it—the absurdist genius is making Carol's desperation feel *funny* without ever winking at the camera, which means the film trusts its own weirdness in a way most shorts don't.
A formally disciplined piece that inherits the Spanish comedy-drama lineage while staying formally precise about its three-character ecosystem; the editing rhythm between Carol's stasis and her friends' delusion creates a tonal architecture that feels considered and earned.
The film's entire weight lands on González Pascual's decision to play Carol's face—the micro-expression between hope and resignation during each rejection—as the emotional through-line; that single sustained performance choice transforms what could be sketch comedy into something genuinely aching on a shoestring.
