A melancholic character study of a disillusioned terrorist and a vulnerable addict whose fleeting connection offers both of them a glimpse of redemption they may not survive to claim.

Days before committing an attack, Antonio, a gunman of the terrorist gang ETA who has dedicated his life to a cause he no longer believes in, meets Charo, a young drug addict who, despite the sordid environment in which she lives, still retains her innocence.
