In their search for purpose and meaning in life, they find solace in spending their days at La Naval, a bar owned by one of them.
Each of the characters copes with their unemployment in unique ways. Rico runs the bar and tries to provide for his sharp-witted 15-year-old daughter. Reina becomes a watchman and takes on a moralizing role within the group. Lino struggles to find new job opportunities, while Amador drowns his sorrows in alcohol and holds onto the hope of his wife's return. José, who is married to Ana, must confront his own insecurities as his wife becomes the primary breadwinner.
Santa, the group's troublemaker and conscience, often indulges in fantasies as a means of escapism. Together, they navigate their uncertain futures and grapple with the challenges of emasculation, loneliness, and the loss of their identities.
Monday in the Sun is a poignant exploration of the human condition and the profound impact of joblessness on individuals and their relationships. With its realistic portrayal of everyday struggles, the film resonates with audiences, reminding them of the universal desire for meaning and connection.
