In a vibrant Spanish city of the 1960s, a young idealist named Ramón faces the incessant bustle and coldness of urban life. Leaving behind his quiet village, he immerses himself in a society that promises opportunities but quickly reveals its dark side. With his innate talent for painting, Ramón yearns to become an artist, but soon realizes that his dreams clash with the harsh reality of an environment where selfishness and unbridled ambition prevail.
As he tries to carve out a path in the competitive art world, he crosses paths with a group of bohemians who form an alternative family. Together, they share laughter, frustrations, and the constant struggle for survival. With each new challenge, Ramón feels increasingly lost in this suffocating jungle where authenticity seems an unattainable luxury. As the plot unfolds, the dynamics of friendship, love, and betrayal are explored.
Against the backdrop of a city that engulfs him, Ramón must decide whether to surrender to the pressures of his surroundings or cling to his artistic and personal truth. The film captures, with a blend of poetry and realism, the feeling of uprootedness and the search for identity in a world that doesn't always provide the welcome one expects. Thus, Ramón’s journey becomes a reflection on love, ambition, and the madness of trying to find a place in a hostile environment.
