Marcela, a former film star, seeks tranquility in the suburbs after marrying a wealthy industrialist. Her past haunts her with admirers and daily violence. Overwhelmed by a distant husband, a demanding child, critical in-laws, and loneliness, she escapes to an imaginary world to avoid the grim and the ugly.
