Suddenly he receives the news that to get the pension he will have to work another three years in a modern and more efficient branch. In this branch all its limitations and backwardness come out.
Among the new colleagues is Marco, a good, docile and very efficient man who does favors to all the others, who take advantage of the fact that he cannot say no.
