Sobre o filme

Uruguay, 1966. Leading politician Aurelio Saavedra brings home seven year old Masángeles, his illegitimate child, after the unexpected suicide of her mother. Aurora, his wife, will never recover from this blow. Masángeles realizes that in such a crazy egotistical household she has to adapt in order to survive, while outside, the country is suffering from a civil war. Five years later, Masángeles, now 13, discovers that Santiago, her half-brother who joined the guerrillas, holds a secret tunnel to the church, with hidden people, weapons, and stolen money. Becoming increasingly infatuated with him, she ends up seducing him. But Santiago has to flee, as he is wanted by the military. Masángeles discovers she is pregnant. It is the day of the military coup, and Santiago is arrested but the van carrying him, crashes at his house, spilling gasoline. A fire quickly spreads near Masángeles, who is giving birth, just as the house is about to explode. She has to go to the secret tunnel…
