An introduction to the world of the writer, Silvina Ocampo, through the testimony of two persons, who were close to her. Jovita, her housekeeper and Elena, her secretary. Through the anecdotes and memories of these two it is possible to revive all the everyday situations which were the source for many of Silvina’s short stories. We are also given an intimate view of the feelings, fears, sense of humour, extravagances and eccentricities of this outstanding artist who was one of the key writers of Argentinean literature.
