Narrated from the future, Bianca reflects on her challenging journey alongside her brother, Tomas, after they tragically lost their parents in a car accident. As children of Chilean immigrants, the siblings are left without any relatives in Italy, the site of their parents' demise. Faced with bureaucratic hurdles, they are unable to access their mother’s pension and can only rely on their father's account for financial support.
With Bianca stepping into the role of Tomas' guardian, she eagerly begins her apprenticeship at a hair salon. However, the salon owner imposes a frustrating three-year wait before she can officially become a hairdresser. Meanwhile, Tomas, captivated by the idea that accidents can bring about supernatural changes in life, transitions his focus from computers to bodybuilding. This newfound passion leads him to skip school and spend more time at a local gym, where he lands a position as an unpaid intern.
At the gym, Thomas becomes acquainted with two local personal trainers who take him under their wing and show him how to access subscription pornographic content for free. When Tomas extends an invitation for them to stay overnight at their home, Bianca reluctantly agrees, understanding that they have nowhere else to go. The trainers soon integrate themselves into the household, often cooking and cleaning, but their intentions take a darker turn as they start to engage in sexual relations with Bianca.
Eventually, the personal trainers hatch a plan to seduce and rob a reclusive retired actor and bodybuilder known as Maciste, who is rumored to have hidden wealth in his decaying mansion. They believe that Bianca, with her youthful charm and proficiency in English, is perfect for the task. However, Bianca learns that Maciste is blind, a fact that frustrates both her and Tomas, as the personal trainers had failed to inform them beforehand.
Despite this revelation, Bianca does not shy away from getting to know Maciste better. Over several encounters filled with deep discussions, she begins to form a bond with him, even though the personal trainers caution her against probing into the circumstances of his blindness. As they grow closer, Bianca confesses her love for Maciste, only to be met with indifference. Heartbroken, she finds herself in tears as she grapples with his unreciprocated feelings.
After a disheartening event at the gym, the personal trainers persuade Bianca once again to steal from Maciste. However, when she visits him next, she finds him unwell and unable to engage in sexual activities. Instead of taking advantage of the situation, Bianca chooses to care for him. When he drifts off to sleep, she picks his pockets for keys, seeking evidence of the legendary hidden fortune. But during her search through his mansion, she finds nothing of value, and despite Maciste's plea for her to stay as she departs, she walks away.
Upon returning to her apartment, Bianca makes an assertive decision to kick the personal trainers out of her life. With a growing sense of unease and uncertainty, she anxiously searches the newspapers for any news about Maciste but finds nothing alarming, leaving her to contemplate the tangled web of emotions and precarious circumstances surrounding her life.
