Loner, unassuming nice guy, Julian (Jose Luis Lopez Vazquez), is a doctor, running a radiology clinic, living a quiet life of comfort. Julian works closely with his shy, plain looking nurse Ana (Geraldine Chaplin). Things stir inside Julian again when his childhood best friend Pablo (Alfredo Mayo), an adventurer, returns from Africa with the youthful, animated, attractive bride Elena (Geraldine Chaplin), and she rekindles memories of his ideal woman--a young girl he remembers playing a ceremonial drum during a Good Friday ceremony. Julian is convinced Elena was that girl, but she does not remember such an incident. When Julian can't seduce Elena, he finds it easier to seduce the trusting Ana and dresses her to look like Elena. Julian loses track of reality and his repressions cause him to become unhinged, as he tragically acts out his crazed desire when all the film's main participants converge at his week-end retreat.
