Ali is eighteen years old. She works in a supermarket. For her, the supermarket is like the schoolyard, but she's paid. Ali smokes constantly. Alicia lives in 'the world of Ali', a place where she isn't weak, nor vulnerable. Since her childhood she had to be the mum of her mum each time that she fell in love and failed in her relationships. Now Ali has fallen in love and has to dare leave Ali's land to lean out at Alicia's land.

Graduated from the Audiovisual Media Faculty of Sevilla, he directed the short films 'Angelitos negros', 'Imserso mon amour', 'Futbol, dichoso Futbol' and later 'Por dónde Rayos sale el sol' (2001-2002) and 'Necesidades' (2004-2005), with which he won the Short Film Competition of Versión Española TVE. Aside television works, he's been screenwriter in features films such as 'Carlos contra el mundo', 'Siempre hay tiempo', 'Siete Vírgenes', 'Cabeza de perro', 'After'... and he directed documentaries such as 'Por un puñado de Sueños".
