With Isabel Cervera and Natalia Ruiz.

Emilia, eighty-five years old, lives in the Longue vie geriatric center since she began losing her memory, but she, who was never one to give up, has a secret plan to recover it. She has 24 hours to succeed. It's her last chance. "Go ahead," she thinks, "nothing can go wrong." Brisa, twenty-one years old, is trapped in a place that doesn't belong to her because one day, she decided to stop eating. Her life has crossed with Emilia's, who is unlike any other grandmother she knows, and she follows her through the center's hallways to help her find her appetite. Brisa has plenty of time, but she knows Emilia's secret and has decided to become her ally because “maybe," she thinks, “this time someone will deign to listen.” When the ingredients of "the secret" include a hacker grandmother, a blowout, an alliance between extremes, songs that save memories, and a dose of unstoppable hope, then, who can resist trying it one more time?

We are faced with a tragicomedy about the passage and weight of life, about the closeness between generations that seem far apart and, above all, a tribute to those grandmothers and mothers who worked hard to build the present we know and continue resisting with conviction, strength, care, and tenderness the changes of a world that forgets in life that, thanks to them, we have reached this point.

I Have Life asks us to stop and focus on those older women who have given their bodies and souls to advance this world we know. It is a dialogue between generations to be aware of the past and value it in the present. It is a complaint against social networks, which are stealing "the simple things", memory, and identity. It is a song to intergenerational alliance, a bet on unity, a crossing of perspectives and hopes to move forward in a world that fades and pushes us to forget who we are and what we were.
