Plot

In a luxurious and sophisticated environment, Isabel and Augusto play seduction games without any commitment. Rich, elegant and amoral, they involve other people in their pleasure games to prove they are not as influenced or disposable as the others. They also compete to see who is the most successful in the art of seduction. Until an unexpected element unsettles their partnership: from the height of their arrogance, neither can imagine that love will irreversibly affect both of them.
