Sinopsis

Daniel is a lonely 35-year-old surgeon who works the night shift at a hospital and is sexually aroused by wounds. This is a facet of his life that he keeps secret, in the solitude of his apartment, where he fulfills this need by masturbating while watching a live stream on his computer in which a girl, Diana, cuts herself with a scalpel. Daniel’s problems begin when Diana is rushed to the hospital where he works to be operated on after having gone too far with the cuts. At this point, Daniel’s two worlds collide. Diana is now flesh and blood. Despite the excitement of the moment and the strong connection they establish, Daniel manages to successfully complete the operation.

During Diana’s stay in the hospital, Daniel can’t find a way to satisfy his desires, something that drives him to despair. After a brief encounter at the hospital, Daniel will discharge Diana so she can continue streaming, but now Daniel knows Diana’s identity and will struggle between continuing to hide his desires in the virtual world or living them out in real life.

Sinopsis

Jaime, a man with a humble background and a dark past, works the night shift as a doorman in a high-rise building for the wealthy. While collecting trash, he overhears Cristina, his neighbor from the third floor, engaged in a heated argument with her husband. Brushing it off as routine, Jaime continues his duties.

Later that same rainy night, Jaime is taken aback when he encounters Cristina in the building’s lobby. She claims to be fetching a coat from the dry cleaners, yet she’s without an umbrella despite the downpour, and it’s too late for any such establishment to be open. Adding to Jaime’s unease, Cristina begins asking him personal questions and invites him up to her apartment for no apparent reason, a first-time occurrence.

Jaime’s suspicions deepen as Cristina’s bizarre behavior escalates, especially when she lies about her husband being away on a business trip despite Jaime having heard him inside their home earlier. Jaime is left wondering: What does she want from him exactly? Why the insistence on him going up to her apartment?
