Synopsis
Tomás (Demián Bichir) returns to Mexico after a seven-year trip around the world to visit his friends Carlos (Víctor Huggo Martin) and Ana (Susana Zabaleta), a couple going through relationship problems. Ana is seduced by Tomás, who is also her ex-boyfriend, which causes Carlos to kick Tomás out of their home. Although instead of Tomás leaving, Ana leaves and moves across the street to the apartment of their friends Miguel (Jorge Salinas) and Andrea (Cecilia Suárez), another couple going through problems. The situation becomes a battle of the sexes when Miguel is kicked-out for cheating on Andrea and sent to live with the "guys" across the street and María (Mónica Dionne), their friend, joins the "girls" in a boycott against all men. Tomas then has a fling with Andrea and gets caught in the act. After seeing the emptiness of his life, punctuated with him making a scene at a local nightclub, Tomas declares his love for Ana before apparently committing suicide by walking into an elevator shaft.Actors
