Based on an argument by novelist Gabriel García Márquez, the film follows Patsy, a curious, stubborn and modern young woman who grows up in an intellectual milieu, and whose life goes by between Literature classes at the UNAM, a father who spoils her, conversations in cafés and rejecting her many suitors. Patsy puts the contradiction between her idea of freedom and her own experience to the test.
