    • Juan is 50 years old, he has stuttering problems, he suffers from visual impairment, he has an abusive boss at work, he never had a girlfriend or partner, and he has no friends. Juan's life is monotonous and lonely, at work and at home. Everything gets worse when his mother dies, who, after all, was his only company. From that moment, a series of strange events will complicate his life more. A neighbor appears walking a dog, relieving himself at the door of Juan's house. The boss doubts more and more of the reliability of him to work, due to the visual decrease that increases. Strange wells begin to appear in Juan's house. But everything takes an unexpected turn when, one night, Juan discovers a man dressed in black in his room, who offers him a pact in exchange for regaining his sight and speech. From that moment on, reality and fantasy will no longer have clear limits.
