26th of September 1999. Alekos is dead. His teenage granddaughter, Margarita, refuses to attend his funeral and takes advantage of her parents’ absence to throw a small party at home. Three days earlier, unaware that this would be his last night, Alekos attends a reunion of old friends to celebrate the birthday of Lula, his first love, who now suffers from dementia.
The story tells the story of 50-year-old Skeva. When she learns that her son, who has barricaded himself in order to raise money to propose to his beloved Rinio, is ill, Skevo disguises himself as a man and becomes a guard in the sports (ships that were in quarantine due to cholera) in order to save him.
