Lorea is a medical student and writer whose heart has just been broken. Marga is trying to escape a failed marriage and Iris, the Beautiful Lily, is a famous cabaret singer who needs to take a break. After meeting in Pola's shop, they decide to start a book club. Their gatherings are an opportunity to share revolutionary ideas, but also a space for giving free rein to their true desires, even at the risk of losing everything.
