"Your path is determined by everything you do, because there are rules: this is right and this is wrong, and you will be judged. But we have to realize that every person is truly different from each other. You cannot box them in. Not at all. We are much more than that". With this premise, the documentary goes through the life of Alba, a 20-year-old girl who has been living against social structures since she came of age. The conversations with her family, the spontaneous dialogue between her and the director and her day-to-day problems will tell her story by themselves.

To break away from the norm can lead to loneliness, and Belén knows this well. She hangs out her laundry on the communal roof terrace with Carmela, an octogenarian widow. For Belén, the terrace is not only a place to dry clothes, but also a place to chat and even rebel against a curious system of labelling that has been set up in the community.

Children are curious, and Maria and Paula are no exception to the rule. The two friends are at an age where we have to ask questions. About life, about puberty... Because this is not easy to grow, and even fewer understand...
