Sara and Dani are having a romantic dinner. The atmosphere is tense as they dine: while Dani keeps bringing up irrelevant conversation topics, Sara seems to want to avoid any kind of dialogue, occasionally casting off-camera glances and responding sharply. Throughout the conversation, we get to know details about them and their relationship that allow us to know it. Firstly that Dani has prepared dinner as a surprise for their anniversary and shows great esteem in his effort, although Sara alludes to another surprise that we still do not know about. We also find out that they're going on a trip to Barcelona, but Sara doesn't seem too excited about their plans and she expresses it. Dani then asks Sara about her studies and her parents, but Sara doesn't seem to want to relay details on any of these topics. Throughout dinner, it's Dani who leads the conversation, and Sara's few attempts to talk about something that seems to bother her are in vain. When Dani says he's going to bring dessert, Sara holds him back. It forces him to glance in the direction she was looking the whole time, off camera. That's when we discover that Dani has a kidnapped an older woman, who's tied in a chair in front of them, who has been there the whole time and pleading for help. Sara have been trying to ask about it during the whole dinner. The situation leads you to believe that Sara is being passive-aggressive for what possibly could have been a silly reason, but in the end her behavior is revealed and resolved, in this surreal comedy.
