    • Synopsis
    • Amalia is a woman in her forties. She is the secretary of the CEO of Ferrelectricos Vallejo, a family business going through hard times. Tidy and efficient, she also has the lack of sympathy necessary to keep unwanted visitors away. She is relentless. Amalia leads a simple life designed by herself. Monotonous but safe. She is convinced that she needs nothing else. Until one day she meets Lazaro, a maintenance guy who comes to her office to make a repair. His completely opposite character, his spontaneity and tendency to chaos awakens unexpected feelings in her. So much that from then on she will do damages with the only purpose of having him around.
