Plot summary

The film follows Alma, a woman torn between two intense relationships. Married to a man who is deeply attached to her, she struggles with her growing passion for Carole, another woman with whom she shares a turbulent and destructive bond. The story unfolds as Alma tries to reconcile her conflicting emotions, but the rivalry between her husband and Carole escalates, pulling her further into a cycle of obsession, jealousy, and emotional dependence.

The narrative is presented in a claustrophobic, dialogue-driven style, focusing more on the psychological conflict between the characters than on external events.
