Andrés reaches the Mexican border to cross into the United States.
Between each attempt, he discovers that Tijuana, the city that adopts him,
is a troubled one. As he waits there, Andrés is not only confronted with his

Cata and Ela, both married, each develop a separate relationship with the
handsome, yet also married man.
