For him, the fact that lliana, a science student associates with a prostitute is enough to deem her guilty. His cruel interrogation methods aim to strip her of her dignity before allowing the truth to emerge. Meanwhile Mariana and her friends witness this abuse of power and the desperate attempts to corrode the truth. and together they strive to offer the help lliana desperately needs. The morgue, where they practice anatomy, becomes a stark setting where bodies and secrets are laid bare.

In this poignant narrative, the morgue becomes the center of the body, while the sea embodies the soul.
