Nicolás, a well-known 43-year-old TV host married to photographer Claudia, feels disenchanted with his career. He appears to have a successful life at work and in love. As he begins to secretly write a short story, he meets an old soul who leads him to question his monotonous life by telling him fantastical tales. Meanwhile, he is about to move into the wonderful new house he and his wife have bought, trying to hide the growing distance between them and acknowledging his lingering needs.
