Javier is a young actor with an affinity for writing. When he begins his love story with Luisita, a young woman entrapped by a world full of secrets, he does not know where the truth begins and ends or how to separate fantasy from reality. Fifteen years later he has converted his love stories into literature, a story that relates his tragic love story with Luisita in a creative, fantastic and symbolic way.
