Women are attracted to young and handsome Ramirez, an aspiring photographer who takes artistic photographs. On the surface he leads a comfortable life, but his life is consumed by a sense of want due to his bedridden mother and by a twisted artistic desire. A drug dealer by day, he strangles street women in his car at night and gets a kick out of taking photos of their bodies. In appearance, this is an erotic thriller about a serial killer who leads life on a tightrope between art and obscenity, but the film focuses on the abnormal mental world of a man who turns murder into art rather than trying to create tension in certain circumstances. As a result, the movie lacks a clear structure such movies have that lead to a tense climax, but the story closely follows the processes in which the protagonist gets satisfaction in a situation and gets out of difficulty.
