Martín Santomé, viudo con tres hijos, en las vísperas de su jubilación comienza a registrar en un diario íntimo su vida gris y sin relieve. La vida cotidiana de la rutina oficinesca y la de un hogar desunido y crispado se verán alteradas cierto día, cuando irrumpe en su opaca existencia la joven Laura Avellaneda, nueva empleada a sus órdenes. Y ese cincuentón, consciente de sus límites y de su desgana, decide abrir, casi sin proponérselo, un paréntesis luminosoEnglish Translation: Martín Santomé, viudo with three children, in the eves of its retirement begins to register in an intimate newspaper its gray life and without relief. The daily life of the bureaucratic routine and the one of a separated and irritated home will be altered certain day, when the young person bursts in into his opaque existence Laura Avellaneda, new employee to their orders. And that fiftyish, conscious one of his limits and their lack of appetite, it decides to open, almost without proposing it to it, a luminous parenthesis
