action
The film student Virginia has a term paper to do for her studies. She invites her ex-boyfriend Marcelo to record her attempts to seduce him with a camera hidden under the table. The following shows how the two get closer and distance each other again, and how it all comes down to the sexual act, until the camera is discovered around the middle of the film. As a result, it is no longer clear whether it is really a film project or the daily life of the characters, until it becomes clear that Virginia and Marcelo are actually the married couple María and Pepe and only wanted to enrich their sex life with this role-play . This truth becomes clear when, towards the end of the film, her sons come home from school and knock on the door and María and Pepe quickly get dressed again to hide their actions from the children.
