A real man

Guillermo is an eighty-year-old neurosurgeon who is used to his wife, María, taking care of him as every “macho” man expects. His only daughter, Nuria, lives in another city and does not maintain a good relationship with him. However, the sudden death of his wife will force him to rethink his sexist values, which are a result of his upbringing.
