- Elisa has not seen her father Luis for nine years, but she receives a telegram from her sister Isabel in a moment of crisis of her marriage with Antonio telling that her father is ill and she decides to travel to the countryside of Madrid with Isabel and her brother-in-law Julián and their two children to visit Luis for his birthday. Elisa decides to stay with his father when her sister returns to Madrid with her family and she gets closer to Luis, understanding why he left her mother years ago. Later she tells him that Antonio cheated her with her best friend Sophie and their relationship has ended. When Antonio unexpectedly arrives in the house, Elisa takes a decision about her life.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- The seemingly parallel stories of father and daughter Luis and Elisa, and Luis' semi-autobiographical writings are told. Isabel, Elisa's sister, is able to convince Elisa to accompany her and her family to Luis' birthday at his home in the countryside outside of Madrid as this birthday may be Luis' last due to his ill health. Elisa has not seen Luis in over ten years, not so much in an estrangement, but in she not feeling a need or want to keep in touch beyond the odd letter or postcard, Elisa's feeling in the matter arguably more due to her mother. Elisa is using this event more as an escape from Antonio, her husband of seven years, and what is only the latest of many crises in their marriage. By the time they reach Luis', Elisa has made the decision that she will never return home to Antonio despite Antonio, while arguably understanding the problems in their marriage, wanting her back in his profession of love. While the original plan was for Elisa to stay with Isabel and her family after the party, Elisa instead decides to stay with her father upon his invitation. In reconnecting as father and daughter, Elisa turns to him as her confidante concerning the issues in her life.—Huggo
