Un chico y una chica han dormido en casa de ella, el nuevo día amanece mientras ella le mira pensando en él, que duerme a su lado. El chico se levanta y la pareja se quiere. Los momentos que presenciamos son tan especiales como cualquier otro amanecer con la persona amada hasta que, como en casi todo, llega un instante, casi siempre inadvertido, en que el fino equilibrio sobre el que nos encontramos se tambalea. Quizá hayan vivido, hablado y besado solo una pequeña parte de todo cuanto aún les queda por amarse. O quizá ya no. Hasta aquí. Hasta este momento.

Una niña de ocho años (Teo) desea llegar a la luna durante su cumpleaños. 20 años más tarde, Teo, como la mayoría de nosotros, no ha logrado muchas de las cosas que le hubieran gustado a estas alturas. Sin embargo, "Hay muchas maneras de llegar a la luna".

Madrid. April. 2020. COVID-19. A girl is bored at home, a boy is lonely in his room. They do not know each other but they imagine themselves through a chat. During their conversations, they will begin a journey in space and time to escape from their confinement.

There's a lot of things I'd like to tell you now that there's time. — Now there is time, I dream at night with many things that I would like to be living and that stick to me for the rest of the day inside these four walls. Now there's time, I see more telebesura than ever and I look more at my phone than ever before. Now there's time, I do a lot fewer things than before. Now that there's time, I think of all the things I would have told you before if I'd known I wasn't going to be able to now. Now that there's time, I'm testing the audios I'd like to send you in front of the mirror. Now there's time, I'm letting my hair grow. Now that there's time, I get things we talked about someday, even if you probably don't remember. Now that there's time, I listen to a lot more sad music. Now there's time, I like to look at the works out the window. Now there's time, I miss it.
