Full plot (contains spoilers)
Eduardo is an insurance company manager who often goes running to relieve the pressure he faces at work. Returning from a business trip, he meets a man named Raimundo Conti at the airport, who urges him to change his life and be free. This is no mere invitation: the man will hound him to unimaginable lengths in pursuit of a goal whose true purpose is unknown. Also in their lives is Clara, a sweet, understanding psychologist and Eduardo’s wife, who loves him but can be manipulative and inflexible when faced with a dilemma. From the moment they meet, everything changes for Eduardo, and his everyday life begins to slip into an ambiguous territory where certainties fade away. Other characters in the film include the American CEO who pressures Eduardo to lay off staff, a veteran employee (Ricardo Díaz), and the widow of Eduardo’s predecessor (Marta Lubos), who accuses Eduardo of having driven her husband to his death.
