Román, now retired, mourns the years when his classes made young people want to know more and live better. He keeps up a tangled friendship with two of those former pupils, Elena and Eugenio, both physicians. When Héctor, a young journalist, takes an interest in him, the flattered old teacher lets him close, and is soon caught in a crisis born of Héctor's past, in which he can neither act nor take sides. Faith and treachery, guilt and courage are at stake.
