Dolores has been longing for years for a truce in the midst of her monotonous and oppressive existence. With a distant and authoritarian mother, a passive father and a brother eager to escape the family business, our protagonist clings to the cinema, to walks with her faithful canine companion, Bambi... and to the contemplation of the gradual change of the Madrid neighborhood of Tetuán de Las Victorias, which gradually abandons its suburban aspect. But in the advanced stage of her life, destiny will lead her to meet Doroteo, with whom she will discover a love and erotic passion that will envelop her days and nights until she is completely transformed. However, a devastating event will burst into her existence, plunging her into despair and abandonment... until a fatal outcome.
