Pablo and Eva squat in a resort hotel that is closed for the winter; the isolated resort is the ideal place for the mourning couple to regroup after their son's death. But they must avoid the two guards who watch the hotel in day and night shifts. Eva comes up with a master plan to keep the couple from getting caught and thus begins a thrilling cat and mouse game of survival.

A novel by Monica Zak, based on a true story, inspired this 1994 Danish-Guatemalan coproduction, a political thriller about Guatemala.
