Under the roofs (Bajotecho) is a miniseries that tells, in an autofictional way and using resources from both nonfiction and fiction films, the testimonies of three people who have suffered, in one way or another, problems with their housing. It is three separate chapters, which tell the story of Isabel, who lived in a foster home run by the Catholic Church; Josefi, Juan and Chari, who have suffered from abusive mortgage clauses and evictions; and Marc, a young squatter who lives in a self-managed squatter social center located in a building owned by a private bank. These stories converge at the end, where the boundaries between reality and fiction are blurred.

A young woman lives a life filled with bad choices. At a young age she marries and has a child--with an abusive thief who quickly ends up in prison. Left alone, she takes up with the guy's mate, another thief, who seems to give her some happiness but who also ends up locked up. She then takes up with a series of seedy types who offer nothing but momentary pleasure--if that.

Chari
The oldest son of a loving and strong family of black sharecroppers comes of age in the Depression-era South after his father is imprisoned for stealing food.
