Plot edit

Sara is a successful career woman, working for a life insurance company. She has been married to Daniel (Daniel Grao) for eight years. No longer believing in the future of her marriage, she looks for her own apartment.

The inexperienced estate agent Óscar introduces her to a beautiful apartment in the center of Seville, which is offered for an unusually low price. The apartment comes with one inconenient condition: Sara can only move in when the current owner Lola dies.

Sara meets Lola, who turns out to be an articulate and chain-smoking survivor of a triple bypass. An unusual friendship develops between the conservative career woman and the free-spirited older lady.
