He, however, acts cool, distanced, his behaviour full of contradictions. He doesn′t change until she finds out from him what it was that made him this way. His parents had separated when he was still small. Since then, he has missed having contact with his father, a successful rock musician.

Paulina is the one who gives him the courage to try and re-establish a relationship with his father. She has leukaemia, and her everyday life is dominated by her illness.
