Kika, a happy-go-lucky, naïve cosmetologist, is called to the mansion of Nicholas Pierce, an American writer, to make-up the corpse of his stepson, Ramón, a fashion photographer with voyeuristic tendencies. He was however merely catatonic and suddenly awoke feeling he owns her his life regained. Ramón eventually proposes to Kika and they might have lived happily ever after but first they have to cope with Kika's torrid affair with Nicholas, the traumatic and suspicious suicide of Ramón's mother, and the intrusive gaze of a scarred exploitative tabloid-TV star (and Ramón's former psychologist), Andrea Caracortada.
