Daniel Mantovani is an Argentine writer who has lived in Europe for more than three decades, recognized worldwide for having obtained the Nobel Prize for Literature. His novels are characterized by masterfully and ruthlessly portraying life in Salas, the small town in Argentina where he was born and to which he has not returned since he was a young man with aspirations as a writer.

Among the profuse correspondence he receives daily, he receives a letter from the municipality of Salas in which they invite him to receive the town's highest recognition: the distinction of Illustrious Citizen. Surprisingly, and despite his important obligations and commitments, Daniel decides to accept the proposal and return to Salas, his hometown.
