Synopsis

Former policeman Emerson investigates the murder of a girl killed in a seedy hotel. He knows her only by her nickname, Golondrina. As he reconstructs her life, he discovers her involvement with several men: an immoral political candidate, who is linked to paramilitary groups; a decrepit former boxer; a blind lottery salesman; and an unsuccessful bullfighter. Like a puzzle, each character defines a segment of the girl's life. As the detective puts the pieces together one by one, he finds that he cannot finish without discovering he himself is one of the pieces.
