Synopsis:
Joaquín Florido, a college professor, sees his life unravel when the water company cuts off his supply… a trivial event that triggers a tragic spiral! Through 24 episodes blending fantasy and reality, fragments of his life emerge: inquiries into his personal and family life, childhood memories, rumors, and speculations about his sanity and career. Each version reconstructs the image of an ordinary man who, beneath his apparent mediocrity, is profoundly weary of the very system he serves. Ultimately, Florido decides to confront it head-on, guided only by the dictates of his conscience.
