Julio (Emilío Echevarría) teaches literature, and is generally ignored by eveyone around him: his wife, his grown son, and his students. In the evenings, he putters around with his unfinished novel with no intention of ever finishing it. His chance meeting with a lovely neighbor sparks his imagination, and he lives a lifetime of relationships with her in his mind, until he is brought back down to earth with a thump by his real-life obligations. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
