Determined to do whatever it takes to save their historic restaurant located in the heart of Barcelona’s Raval neighborhood, a family sets out to squat in the entire building. Inspired by a true story.

On the 100th anniversary of their restaurant the Can Mosques, Àlex, the family’s son, announces that he has finally managed to buy the property. However, due to the scheming of the dishonest Cristòbal (Sergi López), the restaurant falls into the hands of a real estate investment fund. In order to keep their most precious asset, the family prepares to push the limits of the law. In an era of gentrification and real estate speculation, this Catalan series arrives at just the right time to denounce these injustices and immerses us in the Raval neighborhood through its dynamic direction and breakneck pace. A tense thriller, inspired by the personal story of Pol Rodríguez, the series’ creator.
