Noelia lives in a suburb of Barcelona with no free time: at night she works at a gas station, during the day she distributes advertisements in doorways. She is not yet thirty years old and has no friends. She never says goodbye to anyone, she leaves no clues or traces. Noelia is just one more among thousands of young people who survive in a big city: with her small conflicts and illusions, in her daily struggle to survive. Around her are Rosa, Lucas, Nico and the boss. All with their small conflicts, their small illusions, struggling to live day by day. La línea recta is an urban story in which the protagonist, Noelia, behaves like the city she lives in, she grows and moves forward in an imaginary straight line that takes her from one job to another, from one house to another, without a fixed direction, without stopping, without resting, without knowing where she is going.

"Caracremada" ("Burnface" in Catalan), a nickname given by the Spanish Civil Guard to Ramon Vila Capdevila, reflects about the libertarian resistance against Franco's regime through the last active guerrilla fighter. In 1951 the CNT ordered the retreat of its militants; however Ramon Vila remained in the woods of inland Catalonia where he restarted the fight operating on his own.
