Calle de Los Angeles still. People sit on folding chairs in the street.

We are in Cabanyal, Valencia, the last fishermen's neighbourhood on the Spanish coast to be gentrified. In a dilapidated building in Calle de los Ángeles, Silvia, a filmmaker, bought a cheap flat that has become a trap. She has been waiting four years to make it habitable. The cold war between her neighbours (an insolvent gypsy woman, a schizophrenic and an investment family) and the bureaucracy have made it all impossible. Her purchase contract with the town hall obliges her to renovate it in less than a year, so she could lose her flat and her money at any moment. While she awaits permission to build, she decides to take advantage of the situation by making a film with her neighbours.
