Barbara works as a script assistant on an entertainment show full of men who think they are funny, she is addicted to anxiety pills and obsessed with money. She lives with her friend Maca, an aspiring actress who is not successful. One day she receives an invitation from Elena, a former schoolmate, to go to a party where they announce the sex of the baby. She decides to go because she needs to get her life in order, and participating in capitalism seems like the best way to start. After the party, Elena abandons her husband and moves in with Barbara and Maca, terrible news for them that will disrupt their lives. Fabiola, an influencer with a 'sustainable' jewelry brand made by children in Bangladesh who shares phrases like 'If you want, you can' or 'Hakuna Matata' on Instagram, will join the group.
Thus begins this story: a cyclothymic pregnant woman, a failed actress, an unstable influencer and a frustrated screenwriter will have to face a life that is not what they wanted or expected. A novel about inaction in the face of everyday problems that ironically narrates the story of some friends who meet again to discover that the only thing they have in common is the passage of time.
