Summer 1976. Luis is a writer with a Falangist political past, who lives isolated in Calafell, a town on the Catalan coast, writing his memoirs (actually rewriting them and adapting his biography to the new times), and thinking about his failed marriage. His sister in*law is worried about him and decides to send his daughter Mariana to find out how she is doing. She arrives at the town and shakes the stable world of Luis with her free and uninhibited personality. Soon begins a game of seduction that ends up unmasking the intellectual game of Luis.
