Mariana Rivas belongs to a world where youth, beauty, and social status define a person's worth.
Filomeno, the old janitor at her university, has learned to live in the shadows, marked by age, physical imperfection, and a lifetime of silent rejection.
For Mariana, he is never a mistake nor a secret.
For Filomeno, love has always been accompanied by guilt.
A misunderstood piece of advice binds their lives together, forcing them to confront social judgment, a wide age gap, and the doubts he carries within. While Mariana gives her affection without hesitation, Filomeno struggles with the belief that he can never offer her the life she deserves.
Because some loves do not break for lack of love, but for the fear of those who never believed they were worthy of being loved.
