SYNOPSIS 8 moments, 8 continuity shots during the 90 years of Octavio and Adela’s lives, whose destinies intertwine in the shape of an ‘8’ and unfold over 8 decisive days in Spain’s recent history, between 1931 and 2021. Octavio and Adela start out as silent victims of Spanish cainism, but as time goes by, the silhouette of the ‘8’, which keeps them apart but united by chance, begins to draw them toward each other and makes them share desire, tragedy, forgiveness... and love.
