Zoragarri baikorra

Zoragarria eta hunkigarria. Nola hotel baten barruan bizitza erdia gara daitekeen. Nola maitasuna eta adiskidetasuna loratzen diren batere aldekoa ez den egoeran ere. Oso freskagarria hain garai ilun hauetan.

Precioso y enternecedor. De cómo dentro de un hotel puede desarrollarse media vida. Cómo el amor y la amistad florecen incluso en circunstancias nada favorables. Muy refrescante en estos tiempos tan cargados de bilis.
