Ismael is blocked. He has been trying to write his next novel for two years, but fails to produce more than lifeless drafts, and fails to reach the deadlines agreed with his publisher. He questions everything he writes, something that has never happened to him. His situation is complicated the day his mother has an accident and Ismael is forced to spend every afternoon with his father to take care of him. Those hours will transport him suddenly to a moment that was frozen in his childhood and that Ismael has kept hidden until now in his memories. Jasone is the first reader and proofreader of her husband's texts. For years she has lived dedicated to her family, and although she also wrote when she was young, she left it. In this last year he has stayed at night in front of the computer, and has secretly started to create again. Each one will play with his secret in the midst of an emotional surge in which the silences, as almost always, will speak more than the words themselves. The father's house reveals the writer Karmele Jaio, in a novel that tells us about ways to build and transmit masculinity and about the enormous influence of gender on the lives of women and men.
