Novelist Quim Monzó is going to create new characters. Pinxa, Riqui and Txordi are black series heroes who had the misfortune of being born in Girona, instead of the Chicago of the thirties.

Minimalistic frieze fifteen episodes about human behavior (desire, submission, love, jealousy, wisdom, honesty, sincerity, passion, faith, ...) located between two fantastic stories about the will and doubt.

Barcelona, 1983. Agustí Martorell is a left-wing lawyer, atheist and former anti-Franco fighter, who discovers that his 15-year-old daughter Esther, influenced by the optional religion classes of Mossèn Parcerisas, a progressive priest and post-councillor, has converted to Catholicism and was secretly baptized.

Fifteen stories, contemporary and some historical, where humorous, sarcasm and courage passed bills to pain, old age, death and love, but above all with human stupidity, without concessions, watching her face the difficult life balance and human misery.
