Hilario is a frustrated 40-year-old writer, trapped between nostalgia for classic literature and cynicism about the contemporary publishing world. While his novel is rejected by all Spanish publishers, he makes a living selling books at the bookstore La Ménsula and teaching an online writing workshop for older ladies, although his caustic attitude and disdain for sentimental stories only serve to alienate them.
