Six characters -contemporary archetypes of urban solitude- meet in an old apartment located in the center of Barcelona. An elderly couple, the woman's brother and three tenants: a blonde woman who gives French classes; a young security guard and one-time football player; and a young, pregnant South American girl. In this non-descript Barcelona flat, incest, homosexuality and adultery are intertwined in the lives of these characters, whilst we simultaneously witness the passing of time in this Mediterranean city.
