WINTER in La Cienaga and the run-down Hotel Termas is full of otorhinolaryngologists - ear, nose and throat specialists - for a conference.

Amalia (Maria Alche), whose family owns the hotel and lives in the building with her mother Helena (Mercedes Moran) and uncle Freddy (Alejandro Urdapilleta) is shocked when one of the doctors, Dr Jano (Carlos Belloso), at the conference presses himself sexually against her in a crowd.

The teenager begins to spy on the doctor and tells her friend Josefina (Julieta Zylberberg) that she has a mission: to save Jano from sin. However, the object of her obsession is far more interested in Helena, who greatly enjoys the advances of this handsome and intelligent man.
