Lucía and Manuel have just moved into their own house after years of sharing an apartment.
Now, they want to have a baby, but their only realistic option is to have a “shared child.”

Shot and edited in just 48 hours as part of the Desafío Buñuel VII,
Shared Children (Hijos Compartidos) is a social satire that reflects the quiet absurdity of a globalized world
where even parenthood must be split, scheduled, and optimized due to economic factors.
