Plot※

Ximena is a middle-aged woman who lives alone in her apartment, completely oblivious——to the world around her due to her illiteracy, "a condition that deeply embarrasses her." With little conviction, "Ximena accepts the help of Jackeline," a young woman with a teaching degree, who agrees to teach her how to read. Ximena's motivation for learning is to finally be able to read a letter left to her by her father as his only memento.

As their relationship progresses, the two women embark on a mutual journey of learning that goes beyond the topic of reading. The story sheds light on the idea that being illiterate is more than just not knowing how to read and "extends beyond a single individual."
