Synopsis

Carlos, a writer in his late 20s, is staying in an old hotel in downtown Mexico City in order to disconnect from the world and write his next script. Victim of a creative block, he forces himself, causing the line between reality and fiction to be crossed, and the situations he writes about to seemingly take on a life of their own. Now, Carlos finds himself face to face with characters who embody his most overwhelming thoughts, testing him in a struggle to control them or give in to them.
