Bekman is a writer of indeterminate age (although relatively young) who lives in Barcelona. At first we see how she maintains an unlikely idyllic relationship with Sofia; at the same time he meets another woman, Zilina, with whom the relationship is much more imperfect and unsatisfactory. However, Bekman is reluctant to stop seeing her. Sofia might be perfect but is also very absorbing.
Soon, Bekman will realize that he can not continue this way: he aspires to adapt to the reality of the world, even though he has always disliked him. He decides to suppress Sofia of his life and bet on Zilina. He tries hard to forget the past, he even convinces himself of his happiness, but he inevitably succumbs to the temptation to meet his previous love again. This reunion is more turbulent than he expected: Bekman ends up going crazy: is everything he lives and sees real?
