Eight stories about women, adapted from the book "Women" by Isabel-Clara Simó.

It's Christmas and the 7 Year old Hector is traveling with his parents to France in order to visit his grandmother. He is not pleased because it's always boring there. After his father found that "eternity" is a missing word in his crossword and an old woman described it as a timeless place, Hector writes a letter to the three wise man making the wish that he would rather travel to eternity that to France. His wish comes true.

In the early 70s, a rather backwards young soldier with serious family problems finds himself stationed in a small village in Spain's Levante. Secretly in love with a young village girl, Pere slips into her room one night. When he is discovered, the soldier reacts with spontaneous violence, creating an embarrassing problem for the military that the brass decide to handle--expeditiously-- as "an internal affair."

John (Michael Lerner) é funcionário de uma clínica de oftalmologia, mas acaba perdendo o emprego por causa de sua incompetência profissional. Ele vive sob os domínios de sua estranha mãe, uma velha psicótica e vingativa, que o hipnotiza e ordena que saia pelas ruas coletando olhos humanos. Todos os olhos da cidade serão nossos, ela profetiza. A partir daí, mergulhamos num delirante estudo sobre o poder hipnótico do cinema, quando a violência nas telas confunde-se com acontecimentos da vida real.

Lola is a young woman who works in a factory. She lives a violent and tormented love with Mario. To get away from him, Lola moved to Barcelona. There he met Robert, CEO of a major company, with whom she starts a relationship.
