Plot

The film tells the story of Lucia, who needs money for the treatment of her sick mother. She watches the murder of Joaquin, who blackmailed his former mistress Aurora. Aurora pays Lucia to take the blame. She reports the crime to the police claiming herself to be guilty, but refuses to explain details of the crime. However, when the money arrives at her mother, it no longer helps as she dies. Lucia's lawyer, Rafael, finds out the truth and ultimately resolves to clarify the incident in court, even though Aurora is his wife. When her act is revealed, Aurora commits suicide.
