Pablo Quintero is an avant-garde film director. He lives in Madrid. He has a sister, named Tina, who takes care of a teen-aged girl whose mother wants nothing to do with her. There are plenty of groupies who'd like to sleep with Pablo, especially if the package might include a part in a picture, but he's in love with Juan Bermúdez. Juan sometimes has sex with him and would like to reciprocate his love but holds back from going all the way, from fear of being gay or fear of commitment or whatever.
As the movie opens, Juan is moving away to another town. He writes letters back to Pablo that are typically nice but noncommittal. Pablo, frustrated, types up a letter to himself and sends it to Juan with instructions to sign it and send it back. It comes back. Pablo is highly satisfied. Or perhaps "satisfied" is the wrong word.
Antonio Benítez appears on the scene. Antonio says, "I don't normally sleep with guys," and the fact that he needs instructions in bed seems to confirm it. Still, he makes love passionately. Later he prowls around, checking out Pablo's apartment and reading his mail, including the letter from Juan.
