What is the play about? Claudia is an experienced actress, but she feels that she has not yet gotten the role that will make her a star. And then one day, luck smiles on her: a famous director is going to make a film and has written the main role specifically for her. But there is one catch: the character has a disability. And the director wants to see Claudia before making a final decision.
To prepare for the audition, which will take place in three weeks, Claudia decides to reconnect with her cousin Gloria, who has Down syndrome. They have not spoken for ten years, and Claudia is afraid that Gloria is angry with her for abandoning her for her dream.
But when they meet again, Gloria greets her with love and without any reproaches. Gloria acts in the theater with her roommates, Alberto and Emilio, under the direction of Juan. Juan is a person with a disability who was once close to fame and now distrusts the entertainment world. He does not trust Claudia and her intentions because he is afraid that Gloria may be hurt.
They are preparing a special version of "The House of Bernarda Alba", and Claudia, pretending to also have a disability, joins the rehearsals. Her agent insists on the importance of the audition, which will determine her future, but Claudia immerses herself in a completely different world than the metropolitan hustle and bustle.
Having encountered the honesty of her new friends, the unresolved past with Gloria, and Juan's critical gaze, Claudia experiences a life-changing experience. She begins to wonder what success really means and what she is willing to sacrifice for it.
