One day, circumstantially, discovers her husband is cheating. Leonor emotionally feels betrayed and realizes that his world, based on a lie, has collapsed like a house of cards. With more fear than conviction, leaving the house, leaving little signs with instructions for their march and trust their children to the care of her husband.

A young man is on the verge of death due to a traffic accident. Only a doctor keep hope in his recovery: family, friends, and the health institution itself have abandoned him. The relationships established between these two men and with the other characters are obscured by the rarefied atmosphere of those years. An essential factor to consider is the historical moment where the action takes place: the final years of the last civic-military dictatorship in Argentina. This fact is central to better understand the characters and their reactions.
