Ramón, a trim and handsome music student in his twenties, takes classes at the local conservatory in Guadalajara. He lives in a rundown overcrowded boarding house, where he practices on his French horn and gets together with his boyfriend Rodolfo, a thirty-something neurosurgeon with a successful career in pediatric medicine. Their relationship is loving and tender, but in the conservative homophobic society in which they live, their relationship must remain discreetly hidden behind closed doors. Their secret encounters always seem to be interrupted by visitors and phone calls by Rodolfo's meddlesome widower mother, Doña Herlinda.
