Synopsis
Astronauts, vampires and giant monsters destroying cities? What do these characters have in common? Well, Miguel, a fanciful office worker who has had his life on hold since Isabel, his wife, left him. However, he prefers to tell everyone that it is a temporary separation. He spends his days in an apartment with his daughter Camila, a withdrawn teenager whom he tries to get closer to but never fully understands.
One day, in Miguel's work center, it is announced that the worker with the highest sales quota at the end of the year will be rewarded with two tickets to any part of the world. Miguel sets out to win this prize to save his job and go to Isabel's. On the other hand, her teenage daughter Camila navigates an awkward and innocent love triangle between a confused skateboarder and her best friend.[4]
