A poetic young man's life and mental health are destroyed by his scheming, jealous older brother. This Gothic, psychological melodrama follows the events that caused his descent into madness. The decision about what to do with the ashes of their recently deceased deadbeat father plays a central role in the fraternal turmoil. At 21, Esteban is the oldest son. He eventually returns to his hometown of Cuernavaca one year after his father's funeral. Esteban loves travelling around. He arrogantly calls himself a writer and considers himself among the intellectual elite. But despite his grandiose pretensions, Esteban is decidedly lacking in talent; however, his good-hearted, humble little brother Juan is brimming with it.

Faced with the hardships of a tenant, landlord Don Fulberto insists on collecting rent in kind, giving rise to a drama of interests and blackmail. In another story, the alcoholic mother of a young prostitute wants to lure a beardless boy into the trade. Both stories reflect the manipulative desire of adults over young people. A self-serving desire that ignores the dark forces it unleashes.
