Juana Acosta and Kiti Mánver star in this film by Bernabé Rico with José Sacristán, Carlos Areces and Daniel Grao. It is well known that the real estate market is hopeless. So it was captured in a comedy tone by Juan Carlos Rubio's play that was adapted into this film, 100 m2, based on real events: the advertisements and sales of flats with tenants. Like the one Sara finds one day, a spacious, bright and suspiciously cheap house for sale. However, with a small "inconvenience": Lola, the seventy-year-old owner of the house, will live in it until she dies. However, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity that Sara decides to take and so, buys the house that comes with an irritating old lady.
