    Her sister's advice leads her to meet a gastroenterologist who will become a key character in the film, helping Marta's physical and, above all, emotional recovery. Marta has since been diagnosed with a metastatic tumor that cannot be surgically removed.
    Just as Antonio realizes he made an impulsive decision contrary to his still-vivid feelings, Marta discovers the beauty she would never have known if things had not changed. Meanwhile, her philosophy colleague, timidly in love with Marta, promises to keep an eye on the unfinished business that Marta, pretending to be leaving for a long trip, cannot finish at school.
    The finale is a reunion at her home, as per her wishes. The people who appear in the story take away some memories. A singular farewell from a very young Korean singer, initially a cardboard image, with whom Marta conversed as an imaginary friend, to then take shape in flesh and blood and greet her from the street, as if she still lived there.
