Everyone says that 
truth is stranger than fiction.
Nonsense!
Nothing so absurd as the story I'm going to tell
would happen in the real world
Since 2008 Spain has suffered
more than 600.000 evictions 
more than one alien invasion.
My name is Ema and
this is my eight birthday.
A bit bizarre,
like everything in my life.
Oh my dad,
He is repeating endlessly that 
I take this old comic
and go wait in the storage room.
What is he up to?
My surprise party?
Something happens to him.
 
ASHEN
Here's Ash.
Ash made a very important promise
to his wife:
To protect their home from any menace.
Tired of the alien invasion?
Tired of its constant threat?
Buy now the alien weapon inhibitor 
for only 100$ with comfortable payments.
Buy now, pay later.
You have failed in implementing
your clauses as preferential planet,
according to the Universal Interplanetary Treaty.
You must leave this house.
Immediately.
…and don’t worry about anything else
because our mortgage is here to help you.
Not the plates!
Will Ash be capable of keeping his promise?
Will he be capable to use the ashes?
Try this whiskey.
This is our home! 
Ours!
Who are you to take it away?
It was agreed.
It is the law.
They've dirtied the whole place.
Oh my god!
Release me!
Release my I say!
Damn you!
Dad?
It can't be.
What can I do?
Think fast, Ema.
Why has dad asked me 
to read that comic?
Why that comic and not another?
To keep Ash’s promise.
I’m sorry Mum.
Maybe truth is always stranger than fiction.
Agent, do you copy?
And maybe stories can not
solve any of our problems.
Eviction on Jarauta Street, do you copy?
Reinforcements are coming up.
But stories do serve for one thing.
When all seems lost,
Stories teach us to rise.
And teach us to fight.
Don’t give up, jinx.
Never give up.
