After a tragic car accident, film filmmaker Mateo Blanco loses his sight and adopts the identity of Harry Caine, a writer trying to bury his past. The narrative unfolds in two timelines: in the present, Harry investigates a secret linked to his latest unfinished film; in the past, we discover his intense and forbidden relationship with Lena (Penélope Cruz), an aspiring actress involved with a powerful tycoon. As the two stories intersect, themes such as destructive love, loss and redemption through art emerge.
