Halley

Alberto is dead and it cannot hide it any longer. His state of decomposition is becoming more and more obvious; not even make-up or perfume can hide it. He then quits his job to disappear in the boundaries of his death, but not before connecting in a unusual friendship with Luly, the manageress of the 24- hour gymnasium where he is employed as a night watchman.
