The high school days, when they attended BUP and COU at Reina Sibil·la, turned them into a heterogeneous, hooligan and full of life group. In the 80s, they were a group of young people who thought they would be friends forever, but life had different plans for all of them. And now, when they are almost fifty, they meet again and, little by little, resume that friendship, realizing that life’s expectations are not always fulfilled and that, if they do, they are always loaded with some surprise.
