This situation comedy by José Antonio Campos explores such a current and little named topic as the care of dependent relatives, through a hilarious story that transforms pain into laughter, and also provides an unusual solution to the vital anguish of a housewife who has sacrificed her whole life for her family and has never received gratitude or a kind word.
Synopsis: Chari has been on the edge of her life, she can’t take it anymore. Against all odds, capitalism offers her a chance to break free from her ties. But plans never work out as she expects them to. [Source: Instituto de la Cinematografía y de las Artes Audiovisuales (ICAA) database].

In April, the Instituto Cervantes Vimeo channel will be filled with a selection of short films that focus on the concept of taboo from different perspectives, but always with a thoughtful and considered, rather than critical, look to place viewers in the realm of reflection.
Proceeding from the international film festival La Mirada Tabú, the eight short films in this online film series cover different styles and looks and address different hot topics in 21st-century society using different registers and genres: we will find dramas, comedies, parodies, animations… to learn to face our world from a critical conscience.
