Full plot (contains spoilers)
Gabriel has been separated for four years. Since then, his nine-year-old daughter, Sofía, has been the center of his life. Firmly opposed to trying a new romantic relationship, Gabriel devotes all his energy to his daughter and his work. The father-daughter idyll is shaken by the appearance of Vicky, his high-school crush, now transformed into a beautiful, independent, carefree woman. As a romance becomes imminent, she sets one condition: she would never get involved with a man who has children. She doesn’t want children in her life. “Do you have children?” Vicky asks. Completely under her spell, Gabriel replies, “No, I don’t have children.” From that moment on, his life becomes a torment of schemes and concealment: before every date with Vicky, Gabriel “cleans” the house of toys, clothes, photographs, and any other trace of a child, locking everything away. When Vicky leaves, everything goes back in its place, and the house is ready to welcome Sofía.
