Trailer

Synopsis

Moha, Valero and Pep work in a small plumbing and electricity company in the outskirts of Barcelona. The shy one, Moha, is on a one-week trial period with the company and is set to replace Pep, who is about to retire. But even though Moha is great with customers, Valero protests and doubts Moha can replace Pep. Maybe six days are not enough to make Valero overcome his prejudice or to make a new friend, but it’s possibly enough to discover that we have to live together: one small step for a plumber, but a giant leap for mankind.
