Two pairs of young desnoyed 'yuppies' meet at the house of one of them for the weekend. Wanting to break with the usual monotony, they decide to play a game of chess, but with an incentive, the winner will sleep with the other's wife.

In this experimental short film, a man reflects with the sphere of the world in his hands and, as if he were a visionary, watches the calamities that devastate us. Through him we perceive a critical vision of the world in our era. Wars, catastrophes, destruction and death. Powerless in the face of so much adversity, he evokes the figure of Mahatma Gandhi as a symbolic image of peace: "There is no way to peace, peace is the way."

The filmmaker Juan Pinzás goes on a physical and also inner journey, in search of some lost images that he filmed in the 80s. The journey takes him from Madrid to Galicia and on the search for these images he meets with various characters who will help him in his undertaking, such as the actors Paul Naschy and Javier Gurruchaga whose personal worlds will be examined in the film. Finally in Vigo, his home city, of which he presents a remarkable portrait, he finds an old film in Super-8mm with the missing images. The catharsis is produced with the viewing of the old film which turns out to be a tribute to cinema and this means the end of the filmmaker's introspective journey.
