------------------------------------------
Sofía has inherited a bar from her parents, in the neighborhood where she grew up.
One night , after finishing her shift , she finds Manuel, an old friend of her parents and one of her regular customers, lying on the ground after being assaulted.
She feels sorry for him and decides to give him a shelter for a night, but apparently Manuel is reluctant to leave her house. Sofía is going through a difficult time, after her parent’s death three years ago, and she feels immediately uncomfortable with him. However ,a direct impact of reality , will open their eyes and that coexistence will become a new transformative possibility that will change their lives forever.
