In a residential neighborhood of Lima overlooking the ocean, some well-to-do elderly people suffer the deterioration of their lives. Frasia, pressed by her economic needs, and who must work to raise her son Nico, has gradually become a vital companion to some of those older folks. If she could only manage to save up the money to buy ten guinea pigs, she could, as her uncle always told her, start a new life. Thus, every day she crosses the city by public transportation to help Mrs. Bertha, who, in addition to needing domestic help, also needs extra emotional support because in recent times she has been feeling a bit down and has had little to no contact with her daughter."--
