Nurturing a strange, almost morbid bond with his statuesque young wife, Silvia, the recently dumped literature professor, Eduardo, struggles to understand. Now, convinced that Silvia has left him for another man, Eduardo, Dodo to his friends, finds himself unable to resist the pure magnetism of his bedridden father's scantily-clad live-in nurse, Fausta, and his seductive Congolese student, Pascasie. More and more, tormented by suspicion and obsessed with the thought of Silvia, Dodo ends up reconstructing the truth through his memories, assuming the role he's been assigned by destiny: that of the man who loves watching.
