A psychological descent into obsession and fractured reality, where a television set becomes the instrument of a man's unraveling grip on sanity and truth.

Enrique buys a color television set just to satisfy a personal pleasure long time deferred but, from that moment on, he becomes obsessed with it in such way that eventually he is incapable to differ reality from fiction.
