Night falls, eternal. At the twilight of civilization, an elderly astrophysicist defies the starlight, meticulously observing a darkness that has long intrigued humanity: the Boötes Void. Just as the Void gazes back.

Miguel is 9 years old and obsessed with singer Mariah Carey. He goes to a Catholic school and one day his class is challenged by the nuns to sell calendars of the Virgin Mary. When he finds out that he won't be able to keep the profits from the calendar sales like he thought, he decides to take action. Like some kind of miracle, his favorite singer is going to perform in his hometown.

Based on one of the short stories from the "Decameron", "The Convent Gardener" mirrors the story of Young Gardener Masetto and presents, in two separate parts, the story of a young man and a young woman who pretend to be mute in order to get a job as a gardener in a convent inhabited by several women and several men, respectively. Because the young gardeners are mute and, therefore, assumably unable to reveal the secrets of the convent’s residents, all the women living there take action to sleep with the young man just as all the men do to sleep with the young woman.
