What is it about?
The story follows Vicky from her childhood, marked by being orphaned, to an adulthood subjected to the domination of her husband, Gonzalo. Despite her university education, mental manipulation keeps her trapped in a cycle of fear and desire toward him. To cope with the conflict, Vicky accepts the company of men whom society labels as "strange" and others chosen by her husband, in a dynamic of sexual submission. Her life takes a turn when she meets Héctor, a detective involved in an art project that links to Gonzalo. During the development of this project, the disappearance of a woman and the possible abduction of a young girl known to the authors trigger an investigation. In parallel, Vicky is assaulted, which forces her to face her reality.
