Synopsis by Mark Deming

A psychiatrist must take some time off from helping others as he tries to come to term with his own troubles in this subtle comedy-drama. Miguel (Sergi Lope) is an analyst whose wife Sara (Marcela Wallerstein) has left him for another man; to add insult to injury, Miguel learns that his wife's new lover happens to be his father. Meanwhile, Sara's mother Elvira (Maria Jose Alfonso) has arrived in town for a visit, and with Sara out of town, Miguel has to pick her up from the airport and play host at a time when he would prefer not to have any visitors. As Miguel turns to his assistant Carola (Geli Albaladejo) for help, he discovers that Paquito (Javier Dorado), one of his patients, has run off his wallet. Miguel sets out to find Paquito, but reaches a dead end with his sister Jasmina (Mariola Fuentes), who has the wallet but has already spent Miguel's money.
