Plot

Ximena is a middle-aged woman who lives alone in her apartment, oblivious to the world around her because she's illiterate, a condition that embarrasses her. Without much conviction, Ximena accepts the support of Jackeline, a young woman graduated in teaching, who will teach her how to read, and so she'll be able to know the content of a letter left by her father as his only souvenir. The relationship between the two women will become a mutual learning that will go beyond the topic of reading, providing us a light that the real meaning of being illiterate is much more than not knowing how to read, and it's not limited to a single person.

Cast
gollark: This is one of those annoying things where we're limited to wild speculation so probably don't do anything weird businesswise.
gollark: Democratic ones theoretically allow more input from everyone, which should lead to decisions which consider their interests more and take into account information people know, but also run into whatever issues existing democracies have plus probably exciting new ones due to presumably having a direct democracy voting on a lot of things.
gollark: Hierarchical ones (theoretically) allow clear direction and management from the top but also lack input from lower levels and are vulnerable to the top people being wrong/bad.
gollark: Before trying to think of ideas for organization structure it might be good to clarify what exactly the organizational structure should do/allow/optimize.
