Write a short summary of what happens in the film
The film's main character is the bar at Congress, a place where almost all important decisions are made. The bar of the congress is not only a place to drink or have lunch, this is the place where all of our MPs share their real opinions and come to an agreement. This is where our future as a nation is discussed.
The film narrates the importance of this industry while showing an empty Congress due to lockdown, as it claims: if a bar is such an important place even for politicians, then why do we have to close all of them? The film invites our political class to consider the importance of this industry and speaks out for every Spanish citizen who was affected by Covid-19 restrictions: 'if we are presented again with the choice between life or money, this time let us choose life'.

The chaotic economic scenario 2020's pandemic originated forced many employers to close their businesses. In particular, the hospitality industry was harshly penalized by this situation despite being one of Spain's main sources of wealth. Even though it constitutes a 6,2% of Spain's GDP, the pandemic managed to paralyze it's activity making this business lose more money than imagined. To cover this costs, the hospitality industry would need, at least, between ten and sixteen thousand million finance. Another possible solution would be to reopen the establishments with all security measures and help these huge part of population overcome the crisis. As a result, this campaign pretends to ask for help.
