Synopsis

Gabi, a burn unit nurse, is handling a mother of an unborn child who has been burned and in a coma from a serial-killer assault. The cop handling the case, Victor, has been a friend of Gabi’s and her husband’s for years, now asking for her help to identify the mother and the serial-killer if she wakes up. Due to her husband’s injured back, her relationship is sinking. She finds comfort in another man’s arms, one who doesn’t let her see his face. Long before expected, Gabi and Victor realize this lover is the killer. The film is narrated by the baby still inside his mother’s womb and still unidentified.
