Two women have a profound influence on his life: Julia (Belén Rueda), a lawyer who supports his cause, and Rosa (Lola Dueñas), a neighbor who tries to convince him that life is worth living. Yet both women, captivated by Ramón’s radiant personality, begin to reconsider the principles that guide their own lives.
