A sharp black comedy that lays bare the contradictions, obsessions, and moral emptiness of a Venezuelan man who has climbed the social ladder through easy money rather than effort. The film portrays a glittering yet hollow way of life, marked by excess, paranoia, and emotional dislocation. Oswaldo, weary of his stagnant marriage, embarks on a passionate affair with a television star, believing that money lies at the center of all human relationships. In a world where everything seems purchasable—desire, loyalty, even identity—the film exposes the seductive illusion and underlying madness of sudden wealth.
