While the town is preparing to celebrate its main festival, Blanca strives to ensure that the first paella she makes in her life is perfect. She has managed to reunite her lifelong friends after years without seeing each other. They are all in their thirties and feel that their youth is slipping away, trapped in job insecurity, disenchantment and continuously having to start over. The paella lasts until nightfall, between revelations of secrets, reproaches and misunderstandings. But now more than ever, the five friends will need each other to get ahead.
