An old man remembers the troubled relationship he had with his mother, the erotic games, and the phantasms in which she managed to attract him.

The film drifts along an ever-renewed invention, intertwining lavish dances, mask games, musical comedy, parodies, permanent repression of the body offering itself as an object of desire to the viewer who is literally seduced.’
