Aunque parezca raro
Antonio is a young man who moves between two worlds: dreams and reality. In a hellish summer nap, while he was dreaming about a beautiful woman, he is woken up by two ladies from a church who bring the statue of a virgin (that of the Holy Miraculous Medal) to stay in their house for a few days. He receives her, in a hurry, to return to his dreams, but, when the ladies leave, the virgin falls to the ground and breaks into pieces. This unleashes his paranoia and makes him immediately go out to find a way to repair or replace it before they come back for it. On this journey, between fatigue and heat, he will meet strange characters and meet Laura. From now on your search will be twofold.
