In a society marked by the rigidity of law and the death penalty, we find a young and timid executioner who has been drawn into this profession not by choice, but by the circumstances of life. When he falls in love with a determined woman with a bold spirit, he begins to question his role in a world where death seems to be the only way out. His life takes an unexpected turn when he is forced to carry out an execution that confronts him with his own inner demons, leading him on an emotional journey that challenges his morality and sense of identity.
The film presents a satirical take on justice and the death penalty in a bleak and oppressive Spain.

With a tone of dark humor and sharp social criticism, the plot unfolds through absurd situations and profound reflections, providing a unique perspective on such a delicate topic as justice and redemption. In the end, the executioner becomes a tragic figure, trapped in a cycle from which it seems impossible to escape, offering the viewer an open ending that invites reflection.
