Sonia is a high-level executive in the fashion industry who has almost no time to spend with her husband and son. Rocío, also married and with a daughter, is Sonia’s neighbour and friend.
Although she has excellent professional training, she has not been lucky and has always had temporary jobs. Each of them tries to get what the other already has, believing that will make her life better.
Sonia wants more time and tranquillity to be with her son who she has only seen in his pyjamas lately. Rocío wants power, social recognition, and financial independence.
Getting what they want is not going to be easy because, like the Archimedes Principle, staying afloat, depends not only on what you are made of, but also the ´liquid´ work and emotional climate of where they are trying to swim.
Sonia es una alta ejecutiva del mundo de la moda que apenas tiene tiempo para dedicar a su hijo y a su marido. Rocío, también casada y con una hija, es vecina y amiga de Sonia.
Pese a estar muy bien preparada profesionalmente, no ha tenido suerte y siempre ha realizado trabajos eventuales. Cada una de ellas intenta conseguir lo que la otra ya tiene, pensando que así lograrán una vida mejor.
Sonia busca tiempo y calma para estar con su hijo al que últimamente sólo ve en pijama y Rocío quiere poder, reconocimiento social, independencia económica.
Conseguirlo no va a ser fácil porque, como en el principio de Arquímedes, flotar o no flotar no depende sólo de la materia de que uno esté hecho sino también del líquido laboral y afectivo en el que intenta nadar.
