Up until March 11th of last year, Antonio Miguel was just another history student. Today, part of his new daily routine is physical therapy at Gregorio Marañon Hospital for his arm and legs. According to the doctors, he'll need therapy for at least two more years. The trains on the line that was the target of the attack pull into Coslada, on the outskirts of Madrid. 21 of the victims were from this town. Teo and Maribel lost their son in the attack. Every Tuesday they meet other neighbours in Coslada who also lost relatives in the attack to go together to Puerta del Sol Square in Madrid. Their emotional ups and downs can make them forgetful at times, but this is one date they never forget. Without looking to make new friends, they have befriended Conchi and Carmen, other mothers who also lost their children in the attack. Now they are inseparable and these ties somehow help them get by. After the 11th of March bombings, the Madrid provincial government took on 15 psychologists and 35 psychiatrists to help care for the victims. This film gives a profile of the psychological traumas felt by those who survived the bombings and by their relatives and friends.
