The plot takes place at the Arango ranch, where Román, in order to entertain his wife, a retired actress, organizes a celebration in which fate will come together. As if it were a Greek tragedy, the fateful happens off-stage and what we see on stage is how these events impact the passions that dominate and destroy everything in their path.
