Un vell jardiner observa durant sis estius la vida d'una família rica en una torre vora el mar. Les festes se succeeixen, els amics excèntrics desfilen, la bellesa del jardí sembla que els ofereixi el paradís a la terra. Però sota l'alegria coven realitats que no respecten res, ni rics ni pobres, ni senyors ni criats: el fracàs de l'amor i la cruesa de l'instint de supervivència. Amb un postfaci de Roser Porta.

Cuentos sobre la condición humana sin tapujos, que retratan lo bueno, lo malo y lo peor de los personaje, que en más de uno se verá reflejado el espectador. Todos, con un punto en común, el alcohol. Las narraciones breves tienen un grado de dificultad diferente de las novelas; ninguna es mejor que otra, pero no se puede negar que los cuentos, los buenos, son más atrayentes para un público más amplio, ya que en cuestión de minutos podemos disfrutar de historias completas y contundentes.
