Una camarera pide desesperadamente ayuda a un hombre solitario; una cuarentona suplica que le presten una cocina para hornear la torta prometida; un estudiante ayacuchano descubre que su familia es senderista. Estas son algunas de las historias de este volumen de cuentos en las que lo cotidiano termina por volverse insólito.
