Un hombre camina por las calles con una bufanda alrededor del cuello. Cada veinte mujeres, debe escoger a una. Ella será la elegida. Ella será la vÃctima.
Alcalá de Henares, 1960. Silences, abuses, and lies lurk hidden within the walls of the Santo Tomás de Villanueva school. There, Chema, a thirteen-year-old boy recently arrived from the orphanage, meets Dori, a young woman burdened by her beauty and the exile of her father, who disappeared in the war. Paquita, the most cheerful servant girl, lives trapped in an impossible relationship, clinging to desires and promises that should never exist.
However, the apparent calm they inhabit is soon shattered by Paquita's sudden death by the river. Because that means there is a killer among them…
