Espacio Vital is a music documentary that follows an underground band (Oba Tenga) while its members, a bunch of endearing fortysomethings that keep an indestructible friendship, try to deal with the frustration of having an ordinary life.

"Why do you keep playing football with your friends if you know you're never gonna reach the First Division?", asks Javi, one of the main characters of "Espacio Vital". This is a music documentary written and directed by Jose Rueda, who has followed the four members of a small indie band, Oba Tenga (Areta, Javi, Pablo and Víctor), for almost three years. They're an unsigned act trying to make their way in an industry that insists on rejecting them mainly for one reason: they are already in their forties. Married, with children, with "serious" jobs and "adult" lives, the four of them refuse to give up their dream of succeeding on stage while they prepare what will be their second album and look back on previous projects and musical adventures. A close and sincere journey full of real life comedy, real life lessons and real life friendship while we see them trying to assimilate the frustrations and disappointments that a career that never quite takes off brings to their existence.—Jose Rueda
