TO OUR FRIENDS
There are moments when it seems that your life will be decided forever. Sara, a young woman from a working-class neighborhood in Madrid, is on the cusp of great change. She is caught between two worlds: the people she grew up with and her new peers from a different social class. She finds herself at a time when decisions are made that lead us down distinct paths. Confronting betrayal, loss, and love, she struggles to understand who she is and will become.
