Pablo (Quim Gutiérrez), her lover, has grown sick of being just a lover and has left her for Elena (Miren Ibarguren), a fun-loving, sweet, affectionate young woman… prone to violence when anyone tries to steal her boyfriend. Claudia is a bad loser and unwilling to let him get away; with the help of her sister Monica (Juana Acosta) and a bit of financial and emotional blackmail she launches what at first seems a simple plan to get Pablo back, luring him far from his girlfriend in order to seduce him more easily. However, things get a bit complicated along the way.
