|The film follows Carlos Rueda a director of a children's theatre in Buenos Aires, a city haunted by the ongoing disappearance of individuals who dare to take a stand against the dictatorship government. He returns one day to find his home empty; his wife, Cecelia, a journalist, has been taken away for writing a controversial article in local paper 'La Opinion'. Somehow, he has no idea how, he can see into the past and the future. People flock to him for news of those disappeared. But no matter how hard he tries, he cannot see where Cecelia is, though he can sense where she has been. He tracks her, but wherever he goes, he is always one step behind.
