Plot

In a world marked by chaos and oppression, we meet Detective Agustin Rejas, a beacon of resilience in an otherwise impossible reality. As he navigates the turbulent undercurrents of an unnamed Latin American nation, Rejas is tasked with tracking down Ezequiel, a charismatic anarchist who has kindled the flames of rebellion amongst the oppressed masses, pushing them towards a brutal revolution against the prevailing fascist regime. Rejas, however, finds an escape from this bleak reality in the love and laughter of his family and in the self-respect, he finds in his duty. The monotony of his existence is disrupted when he encounters Yolanda, a woman of soulful beauty who teaches ballet to his daughter. She stirs long-forgotten passions within him and becomes a symbol of the dichotomy that his country embodies - the pure yet tainted, the beautiful yet corrupt. But as Yolanda provides Rejas with a semblance of solace, she might also be the eye of the storm he is trying to weather. As the revolution's fury escalates and the lines between the hunter and the hunted blur, the truths Rejas seeks - the truth of the dancer and the truth of the revolutionary - remain as elusive as the peace he desires.
