"This film is, somehow, a story of coping with grief. But stopping there would be too simple a description of a screenplay that aims to follow the process of a depressed thirty-something as he matures, realising that he is no longer 20. On returning to Rome, Marcos, protagonist of the story, will discover that he is no longer the same Erasmus student, that he is no longer a part of that multilingual, youthful and multicultural space. That, as happened to me when I returned to Italy ten years after studying there, he has grown up."

Sinopsis: Marcos goes to Rome to collect the body of his brother, who died while on his Erasmus stay, and where he too had studied years back. There he learns that his brother Alejandro was a different person to the one he had known. Intrigued by this version of his brother, Marcos recreates his last days; he goes out with his friends, sleeps in his bed, smokes his tobacco… Meanwhile, the phone calls keep coming: his mother, his boss… "When are you coming back?" But Marcos is happy squatting his brother's life.
