Synopsis :

Irune, an insecure, lonely woman with hypochondriac tendencies, works in a paper factory on the suburbs of an industrial town in Àlava. Her life is limited to a small circle of acquaintances: her workmates, a neighbour with whom she shares something resembling a friendship and a Renfe train operator with whom she consults train timetables that she never takes. Her fragile equilibrium will explode when she detects a lump in her breast, which coincides with a labour conflict in which she is involved. It is then that her life takes an unexpected turn, offering her the opportunity that, perhaps unknowingly, she had always been waiting for.
