In the midst of the confinement that the pandemic has brought us, to those of us who live in family groups or in company, coexistence begins to be a time bomb where there is no space to breathe and free oneself from the pressures of life and relationships with others. THE BATHROOM then becomes the only place where there is individual freedom to vent, to dream, to cry, to keep secrets and intimacies of the life that was led in the days prior to confinement. This is EL BAÑO, a film that narrates the parallel experiences lived by several members of a series of friends who have in common that they were university classmates 15 years ago and now they have to spend 24 hours a day at home while they work and live together. with their loved ones.[1]
