The beautiful Vera (Elena Anaya) is the only patient in a private beauty clinic, where she is monitored day and night by plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Ledgard (Antonio Banderas).

She has no history and yet her fate seems to be closely linked to Robert's life. And what role do Robert's loyal housekeeper Marilia (Marisa Paredes) and the mysterious man in the tiger costume, who was last seen entering the clinic, play?
