Vicente Duarte is, by all appearances, a normal individual. He is married, although it does not appear it is a happy union, to Raquel, an attractive woman. Secretly, Vicente has another life: he is a sexual predator and assassin. He loves to kill women at random to satisfy his desires. He goes after ladies who show a bit of flesh, or dress in provocative ways. Vicente has a predilection for roaming the streets in search of a prey, transforming himself from an ordinary citizen into a ruthless murderer of women.
One day, while having lunch he meets a man, Enrique Capoblanco, a professional clown. The two men click right away. Vicente is not shy in sharing his inner most secrets with Enrique, who seems to love listening to his new friend talk about his sexual exploits. Vicente, in fact, leaves a minor detail from Enrique, he hides the real motif for going after so many women. Vicente is fond of doing his killings on Wednesdays.
The situation at home with Raquel begins to deteriorate as Vicente gets more and more involved in his crime spree. Parallel to his murder activities, the police discover another serial killer is slaying men all over the city, creating panic among the public. There are no clues as to who is doing the dirty deeds until fate brings Vicente to his rival in an unexpected set of circumstances.
Alberto Lecchi, the genius behind two of the best crime series in recent memory in Argentina, "Epitafios I, and II", is the director of this psychological study of a deranged individual who has been disposing of innocent women to satisfy his own lust for sex and blood. The film is based on a novel by Leandro Siciliano, who also contributed to the screenplay with Mr. Lecchi and Daniel Romanach.
In Victor Laplace, the director found a terrific actor who makes justice to Vicente. The actor who is at home working on movies, television as well as in the Buenos Aires stage, makes an impression with the assassin from hell. He is equally matched by Gabriel Goity, seen as Enrique. Leonor Benedetto is a welcome addition to any film, as she is in this one, playing Raquel, the long suffering wife of Vicente.
