However, the reality is that his life is monotonous and boring. His wife is tired of his failed ambitions, and their financial problems increase day by day.
One day, while at a bar with his talkative friends, he hears the story of a young immigrant who arrives in the United States with unwavering ambition. Inspired, he decides that the only way to break out of his routine is to embark on a journey of self-discovery, summoning the courage to write a novel based on this immigrant's experiences.
