Oscar Restrepo’s obsession with poetry brought him no glory. Aging and erratic, he has succumbed to the cliché of the poet in the shadows. Meeting Yurlady, a teenage girl from humble roots, and helping her cultivate her talent brings some light to his days, but dragging her into the world of poets may not be the way.

ಕಾವ್ಯದ ಮೇಲಿನ ಗೀಳು ಆಸ್ಕರ್ ರೆಸ್ಟ್ರೆಪೊಗೆ ಯಾವುದೇ ಖ್ಯಾತಿಯನ್ನು ತಂದುಕೊಟ್ಟಿಲ್ಲ. ವಯಸ್ಸಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವ ಮತ್ತು ಅಸ್ಥಿರ ಮನಸ್ಥಿತಿಯ ಅವನು ಸಿದ್ಧ ಮಾದರಿಯ ಕವಿತೆಗಳ ಪ್ರಭಾವಕ್ಕೊಳಗಾಗಿ ಅವುಗಳ ನೆರಳಿನಲ್ಲೇ ಉಳಿದುಹೋಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಯುರ್ಲಾಡಿ ಎಂಬ ಒಂದು ಬಡ ಕುಟುಂಬದ ಮುಗ್ಧ ಹುಡುಗಿಯ ಕಾವ್ಯ ಪ್ರತಿಭೆಯನ್ನು ಬೆಳೆಸಲು ಆತ ಮಾಡುವ ಸಹಾಯ ಅವನಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಸ ಚೈತನ್ಯನ್ನುಂಟು ಮಾಡಿದರೂ, ಆಕೆಯನ್ನು ಕವಿಗಳ ಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ಎಳೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು ಸರಿಯಾದ ಮಾರ್ಗವೇ ಎಂಬ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ಉದ್ಭವಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
