Plot[edit]

Dr. Mills, a renowned cardiologist, and his wife Isabel have had marital problems for a long time. They live accompanied by their two maids in a provincial capital, during the oppressive Spain of the 1950s. Unexpectedly, Dr. Mills falls in love with Julia, a younger colleague. Given the refusal of Isabel to a separation, the doctor resorts to crime, which is made easier by his profession.
