The three young women have no idea that every time they are genuinely surprised, he gains another sixty days of life. At first, he fears they might move out. Later, he becomes even more afraid of seeing them mistreated. This little courtyard, where no one is related by blood, gradually begins to feel like a home where people wait for one another to return for dinner.
