It stars Megan Montaner as Emma, a 30-year old woman, who is unhappy with her 10-year relationship with Nando and her family life and who feels that her life has lost all meaning. When a time error sends her back a decade, she is trapped in the body of a 20-year-old, giving her a chance to reassess who she wants to become.

On the film side, Netflix has commissioned A través de mi ventana, an adaptation of the novel by Ariana Godoy directed by Marçal Forés. The project begins filming on March 14 and is produced by Nostromo Pictures and directed by Marçal Fores.
