Núria, 24, lives between her parents in crisis and her boyfriend Pol. She works one precarious job after another feeling lost about her future. A dream haunts her: Portbou, cliffs falling into the sea, a winding road. After meeting Aleix she falls madly in love and her life is turned upside down. She discovers her mother has a lover while her father overplays the victim. Being obsessively in love with Aleix, she moves in with Pol, and begins to lose control about her desire. Feeling guilty about Pol, she sleeps with a random boy out of spite and finally with Aleix. They go to Portbou: the journey is strange and she has a car accident. After leaving Pol, she continues in love with Aleix, who ignores her. Her parents separate and she fears she might be pregnant. Feeling out of control, she has a new lover and sleeps with Pol again. After a cathartic performance on a stage, she leaves to France. Despite the ghosts of men, she begins to learn not to depend on them for her happiness.
