Avelino is an honest and radical Communist who denounces his wife's illicit business undertakings to the police. Miro is a young painter who can’t sell her artwork at the fair but manages to obtain the financial support of a foreigner in exchange for her company. These three stories of sexual corruption become intertwined when a mysterious painting crosses their paths.
