Plot[]
Ximena is a middle-aged woman who lives alone in her apartment, oblivious to the world around her because she's illiterate, a condition that embarrasses her. Without much conviction, Ximena accepts the support of Jackeline, a young woman graduated in teaching, who will teach her how to read, and so she'll be able to know the content of a letter left by her father as his only souvenir. The relationship between the two women will become a mutual learning that will go beyond the topic of reading, providing us a light that the real meaning of being illiterate is much more than not knowing how to read, and it's not limited to a single person.
