Andrés Cuadrado is a strict civil servant in the Ministry of Finance. He considers himself first and foremost a 'person as God commands' and takes it for granted that everything responds to a natural, hierarchical and immovable order. After an unfortunate confrontation with a co-worker, he is sanctioned and transferred to Igualdad, where everything is new to him. There he will have to get up to speed in order to adapt to this new order of things.
