Plot

[edit]

The film tells the story of Andrés (Julio Jung), a man leading a boring and bourgeois life in a large mansion with his grandmother, Elisa de Ábalos (María Cánepa), an elderly woman who gradually loses touch with reality. The monotony of Andrés' life is disrupted when Estela (Adela Secall), a young and innocent villager, arrives at the mansion and immediately becomes the object of his attraction. This triggers an internal struggle within Andrés caused by his newfound feelings. Meanwhile, Estela falls in love with Mario (Paulo Meza), a humble welder from the neighborhood who happens to be the brother of a petty criminal. It is this latter character who sets off the final conflict of the film.
