A reconstitution of the years of military dictatorship and repression in Argentina. The script investigates the routine existing on sites of torture where the prisoners were kept for years, and the relationship that developed between tortured and torturers.

     One of the victims is Maria, a young teacher and leftist militant. She lives with her mother in an ancient house with rooms rented out to help with the expenses. Felix, one of the tenants, is a security guard in a garage and nurtures a secret passion for Maria - until the day when a military squadron breaks into the house and seizes the girl. The mother tries in vain to obtain information as to her whereabouts.

     Maria is kept blindfolded and under torture in an old garage, one of the numerous points in the center of Buenos Aires that served as a prison for the paramilitary organizations. She is delivered to one of the "best" men on the site: Felix, able to make anyone talk. To ensure she stays alive, Maria decides to join forces with the torturer.
