José, a car painter, is fired and replaced by a machine. In the same week, Laura is sent away to teach and the long-awaited adopted son arrives.

What happens when the world as we know it crumbles before our very eyes?

When all the things we've worked so hard to build are taken away from us without any kind of warning?

How do we survive in an increasingly mechanical and impersonal world, where technology advances by leaps and bounds, leaving behind those who cannot keep up?

The series "The Machine" explores these issues by following the journey of a family who, after losing everything, find themselves in an increasingly technological and impersonal world.

José, a car painter, is fired and replaced by a machine. In the same week, Laura, his wife, is sent away to teach and the long-awaited adopted son arrives.

 

In the last decade, the theme of automation and social sustainability echoed around the world and invaded our eyes from newspapers to the media. But how can we show the consequences of this new world without resorting to generalizations or further distancing the public from reality? It is at this moment that our desire to tell this story arises. Talk about a person and not a number. To show a man who has given his whole life to a job and is replaced by a machine.

"A Máquina" is a series that seeks to realistically portray the challenges faced by modern families, as technology and automation become increasingly present in our lives. In a world where human relationships seem increasingly replaceable by machines and algorithms, the series presents the importance of family unity and empathy in the midst of these transformations. Through the story of José, Laura, and Hugo, the series shows how the same difficulties that bring us down can also lift us up. "A Máquina" seeks to move and make us reflect on the challenges of modern life.

"A Máquina" is not just the object that replaces José; it symbolizes the piece that each of us is and how we must align ourselves so that the machine that is our life works correctly.
