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.
