Marito is an eighteen-year-old student in Miraflores, Peru. He studies law at the University of San Marcos and works at Panamericana, a local radio station. His job consists of managing and airing news casts on the station a few times a day. Marito has dreams of being a writer but only writes sporadically and without passion. He passes his days and free time between work with friends and doing only enough to get by at both school and work. Marito's closest friend is Javier and his closest family member and confidante is his cousin Nancy. They both know about Marito's love for literature but don't understand it. They are usually the worst critics of his work and think that he lacks the imagination to make a really successful story.
