Tatawo is a bar, tattooing saloon, located in the old quarter of Barcelona. It is a meeting point for the most different and colourful characters of our society. Through the window-shop of Tatawo, Simona shows her tattoed body with movements based on oriental dances. Her skin shows the best moments on her life in India with Francis, the man who tattooed her. Even though Francis has left Simona, she is still in love with him. Mariel, the owner of Tatawo and a close friend of Francis, feels a deep and secret wish of reaching Simona’s love. Mareil would do everything for her. He would be capable of stealing the money that she needs to erase the tatoos that Francis drew and that cover her body. Then she would be able to start a new life.
