Synopsis

Mecha and Ophelia, a couple, are going through a crisis that does not seem to have a way out. It is caused by a third woman. Unable to choose between the two women, Mecha decides to get over it and swears to Ophelia that she'll stop seeing her lover. After a few months she realizes she can't do it. Ophelia can't leave Mecha either, and decides to find a lover herself. It may not be the best solution, but it is fairer, and may even help revive their relationship.
Ophelia manages to be unfaithful, but with a man. Mecha is displeased, but hides her feelings, and in an attempt to break with taboos proposes that the four of them go out together. What was originally supposed to be an innocent night out, just to get acquainted, turns into jealousy, rejection, loss of love, and the desire for revenge. Events take the most unexpected of turns for Mecha, who realizes her angst persists, and starts to suspect it has nothing to do with love.
