Plot

In the heart of Oviedo, the capital of Asturias nestled in northern Spain, Carlos lives a dual existence. By day, he's Kar-El, a digital tarot card reader for a local television station, using technology's pixels to predict the future for his viewers. Off-camera, however, Carlos is a solitary figure, trapped in his own universe, his life mirroring the grey skies of his city. Haunted by the unfulfilled dream of following in the footsteps of his mother, Carmen, a revered icon of Spanish cinema, he grapples with the frustrating echoes of his unrealised acting ambitions. In an unexpected twist of fate, a national television network offers Carlos an opportunity to appear on a popular show. This golden ticket thrusts Carlos into the limelight, forcing him face-to-face with the realities of his life and the truths about his family. His rebellious daughter, Melina, abandons her aspirations of being a heavy metal vocalist to guard the goalpost. His reserved son, Jon, finds his own identity not in the courtrooms as a lawyer but in the ballet studios, embracing his sexuality along the way. And as the spotlight grows brighter, the biggest revelation of all comes to light - Carmen, the superstar of his dreams and his beloved mother, is battling a terminal illness. "El futuro ya no es lo que era" is a poignant journey of self-discovery, family secrets, and the relentless passage of time, where the future is no longer what it used to be.
