Plot
It is about the year 9177 (one thousand years up or down) and only one building (and its suburbs) lasts from humankind. Society is divided between the elite inhabiting the building, and the 'unemployed' who live outside in shacks.[4][5] The aforementioned social fabric begins to unravel after José María, an outer dweller, tries to sell a lemonade to the elite, prompting a social revolution.[5][6]

Production
Summarize
Perspective
The screenplay adapted the novel Tiempo después by José Luis Cuerda written in 2015, in turn based on a discarded screenplay from 1997.[12][3] A group of comedians (including Edu Galán, Andreu Buenafuente, Berto Romero and Arturo Valls) created a group to unshelf the work and produce a film.[13] Some of the crew duties were entrusted to Pau Esteve Birba (cinematography), Lucio Godoy (music), Emma Tusell (editing), Pepe Domínguez (art direction), Clara Bilbao (costume design) and Miguel Calvo (sound).[14] Andreu Buenafuente and Arturo Valls took over production duties.[15]
The film's main theme, "Tiempo después", is performed by Joaquín Sabina.[16]
A joint Spanish-Portuguese co-production,[17] the film was produced by Tiempo después AIE, Estela Films, Pólvora Films, Lanube Películas, El Terrat and Planar Gestão de Equipamentos Cinematográficos, with the participation of Atresmedia Cine, Entertaintment One, Movistar+, Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha and Castilla-La Mancha Media.[18]
Shooting took place in between the Castilla–La Mancha and the Community of Madrid regions and wrapped by December 2017.[18] Shooting locations included Barrancas del Burujón and Hontanar, in the province of Toledo.[11]
The "dystopic" building in which the fiction is set is a mashup of two iconic 20th-century buildings located in Madrid: the Torres Blancas designed by Javier Sáenz de Oiza and the Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute (aka the 'Crown of Thorns') by Fernando Higueras and Antonio Miró.[19] Some of the indoor shots were filmed in Torres Blancas.[19]
