Description: Daniel and Ana reside with their affluent parents in Mexico City. Daniel is in a relationship with Mariana, while Ana is engaged to Rafa, who plans to move to Spain for work. Their lives take a dark turn when they are kidnapped at gunpoint and, under threats of rape and murder, are forced to strip and engage in sexual acts on camera. Although they are eventually released unharmed, the traumatic experience leaves them emotionally shattered. Both struggle to communicate with each other or anyone else. Over time, Ana demonstrates resilience by seeking therapy and reconciling with Rafa. However, Daniel remains emotionally unstable, grappling with conflicted feelings about the incident, particularly his attraction to his older sister, whom he has always admired. His emotional turmoil intensifies, leading him to purchase a dagger with intentions of violence at Ana’s wedding, though he is uncertain of his target. The film concludes with a warning against the dangers of pornography featuring coerced participants.
