They're always there when you need them... And when you don't!
Remei Cases is tired of working at her husband Pau's driving school. Her friend Dul encourages her to finish the psychology degree she started 20 years ago and become a family counselor. Despite the family's skepticism, especially her husband's, she succeeds.
Pau is fed up with life. He doesn't like his job, but lacks the courage to quit and is angry that his wife has found the will to do so. He retreats into a world of his own by watching wildlife documentaries. That is why Pau tends to interpret social behavior in the context of animal behavior: the struggle between dominant males, the fight for territory, protecting offspring. As he sees it, there is little he can do to solve family problems because his family itself is the problem. So he seeks to undermine his wife's morale and often succeeds in doing so.
Pau and Remei live in a typical flat in Barcelona's Sagrada Família district with their children and Remei's father, owner of the flat. Other relatives often drop by : the daughter's awful boyfriend, the son's gay partner, the separate brother, the garrulous mother-in-law and the niece from Andorra.
The family scene is a source of endless bickering that Remei can't solve, even though she's a family counselor. What she'd really like to do is to send them all packing-husband, kids, in-laws-and make a fresh start, but then... family is family.
