Something Is About to Happen

Lucía (Malena Alterio) loses both her job and her emotional footing after her employer collapses under fraud allegations. Caring for her difficult father Juanjo (Manuel de Blas) while driving a taxi across Madrid, she fixates on Braulio Botas (Rodrigo Poisón), an actor connected to a fleeting romantic memory and the aria "Nessun Dorma." Her search reshapes her routines, appearance, and sexual behavior. She forms a tense friendship with theater producer Roberta (Aitana Sánchez-Gijón), who promises access to Braulio while quietly studying Lucía's confessions and vulnerabilities. As betrayal accumulates from every direction, Lucía begins treating the city itself like a stage where private humiliation demands an audience.
