Synopsis

In 1940's Vera Cruz, Nacho is a waiter at Don Lázaro's café in the Hotel Ofélia. It is here that he first encounters the beautiful and mysterious Lola. She is a drunkard, an opium addict and a prostitute, and perhaps worst of all, her heart belongs to masked wrestler, Gardenia Wilson. Nacho quickly falls for her, even though he is warned to stay away by his boss, for in his opinion she can only lead to trouble. Nacho accepts that he will never possess her, but comes to crave any and all attentions from her, including those that are base and humiliating.
