Synopsis

The main character in this story is Adrian, a 26-year-old who, far from wanting to become a successful professional, would rather dedicate his life to making others happy. After several jobs, he finally finds his own place in the messenger company El Rayo Veloz, where he will take advantage of his deliveries in order to help those who have some type of problem he can pick up on correctly. He finds the cure for his loneliness when he comes across a woman to love, after solving a peculiar game of riddles and conundrums. A story which combines humour and mystery and insists on optimism and the transmission of good feelings towards those anonymous people we walk by every day.
