In Madrid, Abel (Asier Etxeandia), a bachelor in a romantic rut, suffers in silent frustration as he watches his unscrupulous brother Cain (Javier Cifrián), a family man and closet philanderer, engage in a string of torrid extramarital affairs. But when Cain refuses to take responsibility for impregnating Aisha (Nur Al Levi), the adult daughter of Muslim immigrants, Abel becomes determined to take responsibility for his brother's insensitive actions -- even if it means marrying her.
