The filmmaker Julián Pintos and his alter ego find themselves confined to their isolated home in the countryside during the pandemic ravaging Europe in the 21st century and embark on a strange journey of initiation, in which they will meet the mysterious Silver Mask (Myriam) and the two disturbing theatre masks, muses of comedy and tragedy, split into Esther and Diana. The characters are trapped in an enigmatic time tunnel and their only escape is to find the heart of Europe, recalling their respective pasts linked to the Old Continent and bringing to the surface the deepest ghosts and fears that each of them hides.

Julián Pintos, alter ego of the director Juan Pinzás, in his dreamlike universe, makes an introspective journey from the belly of his mother to the belly of Europe without severing the umbilical cord. Julián will be lost between the child he was, that man he now is, his mother's love and the duality of the woman he loves. All this in the entrails of the two European capitals through which he wanders, Berlin and Madrid, which with their past and present stir up Julián's dreams and anxieties.
