Based on the poetry collection by writer Robert Rodríguez, Gray Stage is a triptych that composes the author's creation in images that transcends the literary. A woman, who will narrate the poems, will guide with her words and superimpositions the different echoes of the writer.

The guests are just like us: people who carry the burden of existing. Throughout nine episodes, partners (couples, friends, relatives) will sit next to the show's host to resolve the differences between them. But, could the debates be so critical and existential as to be real? Or will they merely be ideas that the audience could not conceive in their lives?

A juxtaposition of two types of alienation: social and spiritual. While the concept itself refers to an estrangement from the self, it also explores how the subject loses their identity to social trends. The film portrays two groups of alienated individuals at different parties: the 'happy' party, where everyone smokes and drinks simply to conform, and the 'sad' party, where alienation is spiritual and intrapersonal. Although their realities differ, both groups hear the same thing: the sound of being alive.
