In a Santiago motel room, two young middle-class individuals engage in lovemaking. They had met while leaving a party and don't know each other's names. As the night progresses and they continue to have sex, they eventually reveal their names to each other; he is Bruno and she is Daniela. In between their intimate moments, they share more details about their lives, their sorrows, and their fears. Bruno pretends that the woman calling him on his cellphone is his ex-girlfriend and confesses that he is moving to Belgium for postgraduate study. Daniela admits that her fiancé can be violent but she plans to marry him anyway. Their initial passion evolves into sharing confidences and even tenderness, but she insists that this will be her last fling before getting married.
