In a colonial town in provincial Mexico, Sebastián and Helena live with their dying mother. Trapped in a huge decaying house, the only thing that sustains them is their symbiotic relationship. The death of their mother and the arrival of Juan, a lower class teenager from the seashore, triggers a painful confrontation between the siblings which forces them to define their attitudes toward love, sex, friendship, power, betrayal, and even life itself.
