Rafael Belvedere has not seen his mother, Norma, for over a year due to her suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Though he maintains contact with his father, Nino, Rafael feels increasingly isolated as his friendships dwindle.

The arrival of Juan Carlos, Rafael's childhood friend and actor, after two decades, brings a wave of nostalgia and reopens the lines of friendship. This unexpected reunion encourages Rafael to reflect on his past and relationships.

Rafael finds himself at odds with his father, Nino, who expresses a wish to remarry Rafael's mother. He is concerned about the implications of the ceremony, fearing that Norma will not be able to participate meaningfully due to her condition.

Seeking independence and clarity, Rafael decides to end his relationship with Nati, his younger girlfriend. Their breakup is marked by Nati's disparaging remarks about Rafael’s lack of brilliance, igniting a determination within him to prove his worth.
