Tomás Ramírez (Raul Julia) is a professor who joins a clinic run by Anna Lenke (Vanessa Redgrave), a Holocaust survivor, psychologist and the clinic's proprietor, whose patients are also recovering Holocaust and torture victims. Among them is Helen McNulty (Laura Dern), a journalist who was kidnapped and tortured by the death squads of an unidentified Central American country controlled by a dictatorship. After some time Helen grows close to Ramírez, but she begins having suspicions after three men attempt to detain Ramírez while he and Helen are on a date.
