Laura is a young woman from the State of Oaxaca, now living in Mexico City, who goes through each and every day of the month of February while she creates links between melancholy and cruelty caused by a tragic event in her past. When she meets Arturo, a man who struggles between tenderness and sadism, she suddenly finds love. However, Laura has a set date, February 29th, as the day in which she will finally find one of three possibilities: freedom, atonement, or a criminal sentence.
