一个被妻子支配得太久的男人得到一个解放自己的机会。把他的暴虐的妻子以安眠药入睡。当他的妻子在睡觉时，他利用他恢复的自由，与他迷人的邻居成为朋友。

A couple of young university students decide to spend the day in Toledo, in order to forget a little of the routine in which they are. At nine o'clock in the morning, José Luis waits at the Atocha station for his girlfriend, Mari Carmen. The couple has deceived their families, who have told that they will eat in the Faculty. The journey is eternal and the stay in the city, rather than surprise them, as they expected, immerses them, even more, in the monotony in which they live. Without friends, without relatives and without university partners, the couple will spend twelve hours in Toledo, half a day of tenderness in the rain and the December sun that will help them to know themselves better.

Amador se ayuda a sobrellevar la monotonía de su vida provinciana sonando con un viaje a Torremolinos, donde podrá seducir a bellas veraneantes. Los principales obstáculos que impiden materializar su sueno son la falta de medios económicos y la certeza de que a los 40 anos le queda poco tiempo para rentabilizar sus encantos. La forma más fácil que ha encontrado para obtener dinero es seducir a mujeres a las que después asesina. La carrera criminal del trágico Don Juan se detiene al conocer a Laura.
