Oscar Restrepo is a middle-aged drunkard who still lives with his mother and has lost the respect of his daughter. But once he was a promising voice in Colombian literature with a book that earned him an award at the age of 24. Whimsical and ageing, he has succumbed to the cliché of the cursed poet. His encounter with Yurlady, a teenager from a humble background in whom he sees growing potential, brings a little light into his daily life. But drawing her into the world of poets may not be the best course of action.
