Petra and Matías have been unhappily married for twenty years. When Matías falls in love with shop assistant Angelines, he comes up with the perfect plan to get rid of Petra but their nosey neighbours get in the way.

Avila, early twentieth century. Pedro, a boy of nine years, accompanied by his tutor, comes to live in the house of Don Mateo, a teacher that from that moment will be responsible for his education. Pedro begins an almost familiar relationship with Doña Gregoria and Martina, wife and daughter of his master. The appearance of Alfredo, and roommate and colleague of studies, complete the circle of his emotional environment. Provincial life, relationships with peers and the special relationship between life and death instilled by Don Mateo, definitely will influence his future life.

Federico is a cashier in a bank. He is bored with his life. But one day a body falls on his car. The suspected suicide victim is collected by a group of men that disappear in a car. Federico's life is about to change completely.
