Plot
The series is about the day to day of a police station in a neighbourhood south of Madrid. The cases investigated by police officers are less serious offenses, although they have a great impact on the lives of those affected: small conflicts of a social nature, with immigrants, evictions, or violence against women. With the police station as the centre of the plot, it shows the characters, their problems, anxieties, hopes and joys.[5]
