Elena is a frustrated woman living a monotonous life. She meets Ramiro, a painter who was once famous and acclaimed, but now lives only on memories and attempts to reinvent himself. Elena is seduced by Ramiro's stale rhetoric and enters a dreamlike world where everything changes. Infected by Ramiro's bohemian lifestyle, she surrenders to a spiral of lovers driven by jealousy and possessiveness. Her certainties gradually begin to blur.

A black comedy that portraits a chain of six romances united by chance. In Tinta Sangre the protagonists are the city of Quito, its characters and its inner world. Loves and heartbreak are the thread of this film, and the constant question that all of them ask is why we call it love when we mean addiction.

Soledad is trapped in quarantine with a new partner she has recently been dating. The objects of his old relationship still flood his house and denounce a presence that has not disappeared. One night, the memory of the ex-boyfriend materializes in Soledad's bed and the three of them wake up in a bizarre and uncomfortable situation. From that moment they cannot free themselves from the memory and the three end up living in confinement together and trying to support each other.

A neurotic and suicidal schoolgirl, a boxer who loses everything, and a security guard who dreams of being a musician, all young people, too young, without jobs, without family, without love, find in love something that could change their lives. Three segments about youth loneliness, the freedom that solitude implies, and also the fun that freedom implies.

First feature film by Ana Cristina Franco Varela
