Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!

Ricky, a 23-year-old psychiatric patient, is recently declared cured and released from a mental health facility. This marks the beginning of his quest for a normal life, free from the confines of his past.

During his time in the facility, Ricky engages in an illicit affair with the female director. This relationship adds complexity to his feelings and aspirations for a normal life.

Ricky shares a fleeting connection with Marina Osorio, an ex-porn star, during a daring escape from the asylum. Their brief encounter leaves a lasting impression on both, driving Ricky to pursue her after his release.

Marina begins filming *The Midnight Phantom*, a Euro-horror film focused on a bizarre love story. Under the guidance of Máximo Espejo, she navigates the challenges of her past while trying to establish her career.

Desperate for Marina's attention, Ricky resorts to stealing items from the film set, including her apartment keys. His outlandish antics, such as performing a handstand in a wig, showcase his misguided attempts to win her over.

After a wrap party, Ricky follows Marina home and forces his way into her apartment, binding her with ropes and tape. This traumatic event escalates their complicated and unhealthy relationship.

Marina wakes up in pain due to her addiction and attempts to convince Ricky to take her to a doctor. However, their efforts to obtain necessary medication fall flat, revealing the dire reality of her situation.

In a bid to help Marina, Ricky delves into the black market for drugs, but his attempts lead to violence as he tries to rob a dealer. This act of desperation further complicates their already troubling dynamic.

As the film's wrap party begins, Lola, Marina's sister, performs, but she grows increasingly worried about Marina. Unbeknownst to her, chaos is brewing at home, creating a stark contrast to the celebratory atmosphere.

Ricky encounters the dealer he attacked and suffers a brutal beating. This defeat leaves him incapacitated, giving Marina a critical opportunity to escape from the torment of her circumstances.

With Ricky temporarily out of sight, Marina starts recognizing his devotion to her and begins to feel a connection. This marks a significant turn in their relationship as she contemplates the complexity of their bond.

Marina ultimately finds herself drawn to Ricky, leading to intimacy and plans to visit his hometown. Their relationship takes a twist as she insists on being tied up, reflecting her conflicting feelings.

Lola's sudden appearance reveals the truth about Marina's feelings toward Ricky, prompting a complex emotional confrontation. This acceptance forces Marina to reconsider her circumstances and her connection with Ricky.

The trio travels to Ricky's dilapidated childhood home, igniting nostalgia and unresolved emotions. This moment serves as a bittersweet reunion with Ricky's past as they prepare to leave the memories behind.

As they drive off together, Lola embraces Ricky, promising him a job and a place in their lives. This emotional acknowledgment fosters a new, albeit unconventional, family bond between the three of them.
