Terence Piard, its director, was 12 years old when he made this film. In 2004, he drowned on a beach in the Canary Islands as he was preparing to start his first feature film, Accidente. The sadness of his parents, the filmmaker Tomás Piard and Yolanda Samohano, led them to destroy almost all his film material, saving only four reels.

Salvador Mallo, a filmmaker in the twilight of his career, remembers his life: his mother, his lovers, the actors he worked with. The sixties in a small village in Valencia, the eighties in Madrid, the present, when he feels an immeasurable emptiness, facing his mortality, the incapability of continuing filming, the impossibility of separating creation from his own life. The need of narrating his past can be his salvation.

Plagued by an abusive childhood, a woman finds escape in competitive swimming, sexual experimentation, toxic relationships, and addiction before ultimately finding her voice through writing.
