In Madrid in the late fifties, Miguel Alonso, a draftsman, leads a modest and precarious life. Everything changes when Antonio, his boss's son, invites him to spend the summer in Ibiza, where it is said to be easy to meet European women. While Antonio enjoys the nightlife, Miguel meets Odette, a French woman with whom he will live a bittersweet love story that will bring him unexpected complications. This choral comedy portrays an era and a country with oppressive customs, showing how laughter and vital resistance are possible even in the most unfavorable conditions. Rafael Azcona presents us with a novel with masterful dialogues and unforgettable characters.
