Summary:

Leonardo es un importante diseñador industrial que vive con su esposa Ana, su hija y Lola su mucama Elba, en la única casa que construyó el gran arquitecto Le Corbudier en América, situada en la ciudad de La Plata en Buenos Aires, Argentina. Como diseñador industrial posee un gran prestigio gracias a una silla que fuera mundialmente reconocida y elogiada. Una mañana la rutina y la tranquilidad de su hogar se ve afectada por el comienzo de unas obras en una casa lindera. Un vecino pretende hacer una ventana ilegal con vista a su casa. Víctor, el vecino, es un personaje raro y extrovertido. Su actitud extremadamente amistosa y a la vez amenazante opera en Leonardo un fuerte rechazo y a la vez una sumisión inmanejable. El incidente comienza a ocuparle a Leonardo todo su tiempo e interés, apartándolo de su rutina laboral y familiar. Las consecuencias de su obsesión repercuten en su trabajo, su familia y en su personalidad. Ante la presión de su mujer y las promesas siempre incumplidas de Víctor de terminar con la reforma, Leonardo se va desmoronando. Hasta que un hecho fortuito le acerca una controvertida solución al problema.

Leonardo is a well-known industrial designer who lives with his wife Ana, their daughter Lola and the maid, Elba, in the only house built by the great architect Le Corbusier in South America, located in the city of La Plata in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His prestige as a designer is owing to a chair, which won awards worldwide. One morning, the peaceful routine of his home is disrupted by some building work starting on the house next door - a neighbour is installing an unauthorized window looking onto Leonardo's home. Victor, the neighbour concerned, is an odd extrovert, whose manner is simultaneously friendly and threatening. Leonardo detests him yet is fascinated into submission. This incident begins to take over Leonardo's time and interests, distancing him from his home and family. His growing obsession affects his work, his family and his personality. Due to pressure from his wife and Victor's unfulfilled promises to finish the work, Leonardo goes to pieces - until a chance event offers a solution to the problem.
