1845, Seville, a pulsating town of sailors and small-time crooks. Teenage Salvador, assistant to the gifted knife grinder Antonio, encounters a captivating young gypsy woman, Carmen. Her stunning beauty and independent spirit set the town abuzz, but Antonio's mystical ability to glimpse the future in sharpened blades foretells a tragic fate for Carmen at the hands of a soldier, José. With unwavering resolve, Salvador musters an eclectic band of misfit street kids, led by the spirited Belén, to challenge the unyielding threads of destiny and protect Carmen from inevitable doom.

Deep in the lush river jungles of Argentina, Alvaro lives a solitary existence fishing and harvesting reeds. What sets him apart from the rest of his village is that he is gay. There are no other gay men in his world, his only means of expression is with the occasional outsider who passes through. Most of these men come via the river taxi El León, whose captain El Turu is a mean man with a homophobic streak and a secret. When illegal loggers appear in the jungle El Turu accuses Alvaro of aiding them, a dispute which leads both men towards confrontation.

In the aftermath of a shooting in Naples, Matteo sees all reason to exist crumble. His little boy is dead. His wife, Giuliana, has disappeared. He himself sinks into loneliness and, night after night, in his empty cab, roams the city streets for no reason. But one evening, he lets a strange customer into the car, who offers him a drink in a tiny café as payment for his fare. There, Matteo meets the owner, Garibaldo, the unrepentant priest Don Mazerotti, and above all Professor Provolone, a colorful character, as erudite as he is sulphurous, who makes strange speeches about the reality of the Underworld. And he claims that you can go down there...
