A young philology student interviews José Lezama Lima for his thesis. In his confrontation with the writer, he changes his point of view until he becomes a creator and continuator of Lezam's work, driven by the characters and the action of Paradiso, the central work of his research. Friends and researchers go to the poet's house and to the dinner organized by Doña Augusta Olaya, during which they offer their points of view about Lezama Lima and his work.

Film formed by three stories: Flash by Pavel Giroud, in which a photographer sees strange apparitions in his photographs; Lila by Lester Hamlet, on the forbidden love between a young couple; and Luz roja by Esteban Insausti, about two characters who begin an affair after they met by chance in a traffic hold-up.
