Plot
editEmanuel (Jesús Castro) is an escort who lives a luxurious life. After surviving a childhood of violence and poverty, Emanuel forms a bond with Minou (Adriana Barraza), a businesswoman who takes him under her wing and helps him become a sought-after escort. But his destiny changes when Ana (Fabiola Campomanes), one of his frequent clients, offers him a complex job: to seduce her daughter Julia (Victoria White) in order to strengthen her self-esteem. With Julia's arrival, Emanuel unexpectedly becomes romantically involved, leading him to question his life choices. Consumed by jealousy for the growing love that she herself encouraged, Ana threatens to tell her daughter the truth about Emanuel in order to put an end to their romance. Blinded by his passion for Julia, Emanuel fails to see the dangers that will affect his uncertain future with her and his life as a gigolo.
