In the middle of the night, Eva María receives a rather demanding message from Alejandro, her only and beloved son: she must go into his bedroom and find a document locked away in a drawer, which he urgently needs for the American university where he is studying. And by urgent, he means “right now, this very minute, don’t waste a second, Mum”. Alejandro, who knows his mother all too well, warns her not to give in to the very human (and particularly maternal) temptation to snoop through his belongings while she has the perfect opportunity. Eva María promises her son that she will follow his instructions to the letter, but once she gets started… Who is without sin? As a devoted film lover, she knows perfectly well that “The Seven Year Itch” might be lurking at the bottom of her son’s secret drawer. Memories of her own life and the reality of an unsettling empty nest send Eva María into an emotional and hilarious whirlwind, transforming her everyday existence into a truly cinematic adventure.
