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.
