Roberto (Carlos Calvo) is an office worker who goes through a separation from his wife, Marta (Ana María Picchio), with whom he shares a son.

Roberto's internal struggles manifest in his dreams and simultaneous apparitions, where he faces rejection from his neighborhood friends, pleas from his ex-wife to reconcile, physical assaults from his dead father, condemnation from a Catholic priest who deems it an "offense to God," a psychologist suggesting "therapeutic treatment," disbelief from a prostitute he once frequented as a child, a neighborhood bully accompanied by plainclothes police officers offering to "pull the trigger" and kill Marcelo, and his inconsolable mother's tears.

Overwhelmed by these pressures, Roberto reaches a breaking point and decides to leave Marcelo, opting to reside in a budget hotel.

Given a single phone call, Roberto chooses to reach out to Marcelo, who promptly arrives at the police station with a lawyer to secure his release.

As Roberto steps back into freedom, he finds his wife and son awaiting him, as Marcelo had informed them before going to the police station.
