Synopsis:
Daniel is approaching forty. From what they say about him he must be a poet or a comic-strip illustrator, or both. He has just overcome a long addiction and, once back home, is trying to recognize his life based on a strategy which consists basically in doing exactly what a "normal" person does. Laura is fifteen... almost sixteen. She arrives in the city searching for her brother Andrés, Daniel's neighbour. But the brother is not home and she decides to wait for him, while organizing around Daniel what could be his "perfect world".
