A forced‑proximity, fake‑dating sports romance where Ryan, an NBA captain, must live with his sister’s best friend.

A nai morreu, e na Casa Grande só fican as pantasmas axexando tras as fendas. Os tres irmáns (Estela, Marcos e Paulina) regresan á vila para repartir os restos da herdanza, mais cada obxecto garda a pegada dunha memoria e a ameaza dun axuste de contas. No corazon desa casa, que xa non e fogar, latexan o pasado e os silencios dunha familia que camiña na corda frouxa entre a pertenza e o desapego, entre a fidelidade herdada e a liberdade desexada. A Casa Grande e unha novela poderosa e intima que mergulla nas contradicions das relacions familiares: fraxiles nas formas, pero persistentes no fondo. Un relato cheo de humor, nostalxia e verdades incomodas, que nos lembra que todos estamos feitos, dalgun xeito, das historias que outros deixaron atras.

Les suggeridores persones que coneix a l'Ateneu Barcelones l'indueixen a prendre consciencia de les seves inquietuds davant la vida. Per mitja d'un dietari, Pla retrata llavors tant el mon de l'Emporda del qual prove com el seu entorn a la gran capital, a partir d'una mirada que configura la seva personalitat.
