Today,
Candela Peña and Pilar Castro raise their voices against the growing invasion of large companies into the privacy of their employees. In a perfect mix between 'Black Mirror' and 'The Office' that results in a work dystopia in the purest George Orwell style with shades of black humor, the two actresses undertake a fencing match in which they go deeper into a well increasingly darker. Peña is a sales worker; Castro, a woman in a position of power. A curious interview takes place between the two about the former's love life.

At first, there's something comical about the company's legalistic definition of what constitutes a romantic or sexual relationship. This, however, turns into morbid lasciviousness when the manager demands intimate details of Emma's affair with a co-worker. What are we willing to do to keep our jobs? In a world where we are told that everything is about to burst, few people still have the courage to dream of a better future and fight to achieve it. Thus, scene after scene, the play freezes the smile and shows “how screwed we are if we believe that a small concession is not so important.”
