Two small scammers are abducted by an eccentric millionaire, who kidnaps the woman and leaves the man. The portrait of some of the most powerful impulses of our time: the lack of meaning of life and the idea that the moral status quo can be overcome. But, the forces of social consensus respond strongly and nobody is left unharmed.

The police detective Waldo, of immersed and circumspect disposition and temper, investigates several crimes associated with indigenous rituals that occur in some regions of the Peruvian Andes. There we find a boy and a girl who are about to enter puberty and begin to interact with certain mythical beings, a supernatural belief very common in many Andean villages. A sinister character, pretending to be on a mission of faith, but imbued with religious dogmatism and intolerance, interrupts this peaceful scene as he casts an ominous shadow over these ancient Peruvian beliefs. Although Waldo's boss considers him inferior and distrusts his methods (a form of discrimination), the policeman continues his efforts to capture the "Extirpator of Idolatries.¨ At the same time, Waldo will resolve his own inner conflict which has troubled him all his life.

A band of fierce rustlers is ravaging the region of Las Cruces. Appears an outsider who saves the ranch owner "The Spur" of being kidnapped by members of the band.

An elderly man speaks to his dead wife and lies to her about the moral, emotional, and social state of his children, disguising the poverty of his condition.
