Synopsis

Roberto is a gay boy who shares the family house with his mother Olga and his sister Alejandra. Roberto spends his days wandering around the house; he is aware all he can offer and demand to his young lovers is a fling.

Roberto starts a relationship with Raúl, a man around 50 who invites him to his place. Once he’s there Roberto is sexually taken in a rough way he never knew.

Roberto moves into Raúl’s house, taking care of the housekeeping. Everything seems to be in harmony but Raúl ‘s constant absences lead Roberto to start a casual relationship with a gay boy whom he takes to Raúl’s place while he isn’t there.

Unable to overcome betrayal Raúl gradually loses control. He is constantly jealous and aggressive to Roberto, letting him know he’d never hurt him physically because he loves him, but he wouldn’t hesitate on killing his mother or his sister.
