He (68) spends his time in the porch reading the horse races, drinking tea and smoking pipe. She (63) works the entire day trying to make the house the perfect place to live, cleaning and cooking the most colorful and tasty cakes for herself and her 25_1_blueberry-cupcakeshusband. One day, the visit of an innocent girl (17) will change their lives for a short period of time, making both realize that their lives together could be a little bit different.
