In this satirical take on workplace culture, Human Resources informs elderly employee Martínez (Francisco Reyes Morandé) that it is time for him to retire—but first he must train his replacement. To add to his troubles, his next-door neighbor passes away, bequeathing him her diary, along with other personal items. A Chilean who has lived in Mexico for forty years, Martínez reluctantly befriends the young man taking his job, and as he rummages through his neighbor’s things, he is inspired to explore. Reflecting on his life and relationships, Martínez begins to realize that perhaps the end of his career is a new beginning.
