She is Miranda, the radio announcer of a nightly program, who uses her morning outings with the excuse of waking the dog, for sexual encounters with all types of men. She selects them, makes contact and disappears without a trace except for the memory. Both hit it off and are attracted to each other but feel obliged to follow the therapy they have started. If they want to continue, they have to practice chastity and control... (production notes)

Talking about sex today continues to be fundamental. there is still a great deal of myth, taboo and intolerance... Id, ego and superego... What happens when one of these elements is unbalanced? Where is the line between normal and excessive in our consciousness? To what degree does it affect our life and our social, family and professional development?? - Manuel Gomez Pereira, director -
