Messy, honest, and unapologetically real: Life and love in Madrid
After a breakup leaves her newly single, Dafne - a young transgender woman - is stuck in a job she hates, tangled in complicated family ties, and secretly in love with her best friend and roommate, César, who is already engaged. Alongside a circle of equally frustrated and imperfect friends, she stumbles through love, work, and identity in Madrid. With sharp humor and raw honesty, Dafne and the Rest captures the messiness of life in your thirties, celebrating chosen family, queer identity, and the beauty of being unapologetically flawed.
