What begins as a voluntary exile with the aim of writing a book turns into an adventure that the protagonists will never forget. Isidro Mezquita, a sixty-year-old writer, tired of his daily routine and his boring life, decides to isolate himself in the abandoned village of Otín, located in the province of Huesca, in search of inspiration for his next book. Upon arrival, he rents an old house and begins a solitary life, motivated to write what will surely be his last novel. After a few days, and without having found the necessary inspiration to write, he notices that there is a gargoyle on the ruined hermitage in front of the house.
