Drama in which a film-maker and an aspiring actor combine to produce a film based on their traumatic schooldays. Enrique is a successful director in search of inspiration for his next film. He receives a great plot when old school friend Ignacio Rodriguez, now an out-of-work actor, delivers a short story called The Visit, which draws on their school experiences of sexual abuse at the hands of Catholic priest Father Manolo. Enrique decides to start work on the film as soon as possible, but can't quite shake the feeling that ambitious young actor Ignacio has changed a lot over the years.
