Description

Madrid, August. The asphalt is burning, the fan is just moving hot air around, and life feels like it’s stuck in a loop. You play as Manuel, a man who has settled into a quiet routine in a third-floor walk-up in a working-class neighborhood. That silence is shattered when your niece, Sofia, arrives from the village. She is 18, full of life, and needs a place to stay while she starts her university degree. The apartment is small—60 square meters—and the walls are thin enough to hear everything. As Sofia navigates her new life in the big city, the heat of the Spanish summer isn’t the only thing rising in the apartment.
