Caracas, 2017. Trapped in a city on the verge of collapse, Adelaida buries her mother and is left completely alone. In the streets of Caracas, anti-government protests are brutally crushed. When she returns home, she discovers her apartment has been overtaken by women aligned with the regime. With no way out, she hides in the flat next door—only to discover the corpse of her neighbor. Adelaida descends into a claustrophobic spiral of confinement, fear, and growing despair —until she realizes that in order to survive, she must give up her identity and become someone else.
