Overview

Horacio, an old smuggler hiding from the law, lives in a surreal, baroque apartment with Petulia, his daughter, and Milton, his favorite thug. While he keeps his daughter locked up in her bedroom, Horácio flirts with his goon, for whom he has had repressed feelings for years. However, Milton's love for a mysterious woman, and Petula's attempts to free herself with the help of a former lover, clash with Horacio's tyrannical whims.
