Shot almost entirely in a seedy one-room apartment, this psychodrama details the grinding routine of Laura (Mónica del Carmen), a 25-year-old freelance journalist, who lives a very isolated life in her small apartment, rarely venturing out besides bringing men home from nightclubs.

She never spends more than one night in bed with any of them, until she meets the quiet, inscrutable Arturo (Gustavo Sánchez Parra), and the pair enter into an intense, violent sexual relationship.

[2][3][4] At first, Michael Rowe wanted the violence and sexual relations on screen to be real, but during filming Gustavo Sánchez Parra proposed simulating some of these acts because "that's what filmmaking is all about, making people believe that we do things for real."

Rowe changed his stance, and later confirmed that in the end only two scenes were unsimulated.

[citation needed] According to the producers, the film was sold in over 30 countries and in Mexico it played in commercial theaters with only 12 copies and was seen by close to 50,000 spectators –unlike large productions that screen up to 200 copies.
