    • Synopsis
    • Today Rita has an important meeting with her singing companions: the women’s choir to which she belongs is in danger of breaking up because they have lost the municipal subsidy that allowed them to rented their rehearsal room.However, the enormous petrol company installed a few meters from the town, and highly contaminant, has offered the group a tempting sponsorship that would mean saving the choir. While the women discuss their different viewpoints, Rita and her son Ramón are immersed in a legal process to obtain a permanent disability pension because of the illness contracted by her son after working for years in that company.
