In a soulless Madrid, Benito finds himself trapped in a gray existence full of disappointments. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Manuela, a woman with an extraordinary gift for storytelling. Through their friendship, Benito finds solace and a new meaning to his life, while the memory of his mother and the philosophical delusions of Polibio, the owner of a local bar, also influence his path. This is a story of love and friendship between two marginalized beings who find a way to survive in a world that has turned its back on them.
