Dark Matters

When her teenage daughter decides to leave home to study, Maite feels the world she has built begin to fall apart. As the fear of losing her takes hold, a strange presence begins to spread through the house, contaminating both the space and the bond between mother and daughter.

Hilario is a frustrated 40-year-old writer, trapped between nostalgia for classic literature and cynicism about the contemporary publishing world. While his novel is rejected by all Spanish publishers, he makes a living selling books at the bookstore La Ménsula and teaching an online writing workshop for older ladies, although his caustic attitude and disdain for sentimental stories only serve to alienate them.
