[1] The plot centers around Daniel, a well-off gay lawyer in Madrid.

[2] He is part of a group of gay Spanish men who cruise for sex, which is treated as a form of domination.

Daniel forms a relationship with an attractive Bulgarian expatriate, Kyril, for whom he makes extraordinary efforts, such as forging papers and smuggling uranium.
