Summary:

Ramón lleva casi treinta años postrado en una cama al cuidado de su familia. Su única ventana al mundo es la de su habitación, junto al mar por el que tanto viajó y donde sufrió el accidente que interrumpió su juventud. Desde entonces, su único deseo es terminar con su vida dignamente. Pero su mundo se ve alterado por la llegada de dos mujeres: Julia, la abogada que quiere apoyar su lucha y Rosa, una mujer del pueblo que intentará convencerle de que vivir merece la pena. La luminosa personalidad de Ramón termina por cautivar a ambas mujeres, que tendrán que cuestionar como nunca antes los principios con que rigen sus vidas. Ramón sabe que sólo la persona que de verdad le ame será la que le ayude a realizar ese último viaje.

Ramon suffered an accident while diving that left him a bedridden quadriplegic. He has depended on his family to survive for almost thirty years. His only window to the world is the one in his room, next to the sea where he traveled so much during his youth. Since then, his only wish is to end his life with dignity. But his world is altered by the arrival of two women: Julia, a lawyer that could help him persuade the courts to let him end his own life, and Rosa, a woman from the village who will try to convince him that his life is worth living. Ramón's luminous personality ends up captivating both women, who will have to question their principles like never before. Ramón knows that only the person who truly loves him will be the one to help him make that final journey.
