In a prison cell somewhere in Latin America, two very different men warily confront each other. Molina is first seen wrapping his head in a towel, in the shape of a turban, while Valentin, bearded and classically macho in appearance, watches with a mixture of fascination and revulsion. During the time spent together, the two men come to understand and respect each other.
