He’s about to celebrate his fortieth birthday and Agata, his wife, is preparing a surprise for him but in fact it is the others who are going to be surprised because Emilio Barrero’s life is based on appearances and lies. When Rosana, a charming student comes into his world the precarious balance of his existence topples down and everything hurtles towards an unexpected outcome.
