Synopsis:

Manolo (Diego Peretti) is in the midst of a mid-life crisis. His marriage with Beatriz (Aitana Sánchez-Gijón) is on the verge of collapse, the routine of his job is unbearable, and his
relationship with his two children and with life itself is ill-fated. However, by chance he runs into Antonio (Andoni Hernández), a 15-year-old boy from the Canary Islands who is ill with cancer but who has a contagious vitality. From that moment on, Manolo's friendship with him, his mother (Goya Toledo), an amusing fast food deliveryman (Jorge García) and an eccentric nurse (Rosa María Sardá), among others, will be the beginning of a symphony of coincidences that will change his life.

MAKTUB, a film whose title comes from Arabic and means 'what is written,' shows those strange coincidences in which some encounters between people can be healthy and positive, even in difficult life situations. A film about the power of friendship and how the 'coincidences' can change our outlook on life. But it has also has another objective: the collection will go to create a new center for bone marrow transplants for children and adolescents in Madrid.

Manolo, played by Diego Peretti, is in the middle age crisis and his marriage to Beatrice(Aitana Sanchez-Gijon) is on the verge of chaos. Their problems, routine and lack of communication with his two children began to change when he meets Antonio (Andoni Hernandez), a 15 year old cancer patient with a contagious and who lives with his mother (Goya Toledo). It will be the beginning of a turning point in the life of Manolo and his family.
