In a seedy brothel, their frustrations parade: A poet who has never published, a revolutionary who came late to history, a provocative angel, a bureaucrat with delusions of a dancer, a greedy Chinese man and his timorous wife, Monica, a prostitute with low professional esteem, a group of prostitutes of dubious sensuality and, finally, a priest with a stench of holiness and another with redeeming instincts. But a stranger with the air of a princess appears, and upsets the balance of the establishment.

Carmela, a 50 years old tough lady, wakes up in a crumbling, cantina, her head pounding and memories hazy. Confused and disoriented, she confronts Agustín, the enigmatic bartender who seems to know more than he lets on. He helps her remember fragments of the night before that led her to this desolate place. As the truth unfolds, Carmela must face the painful reality of who truly deceived her.
